Ecoregion Reference Stream Monitoring and Watershed Monitoring
The State of Tennessee has included Abrams Creek in Cades Cove (sampling sites at both ends of the Cove) as part of an on-going ecoregion reference stream work. Abrams Creek is one of their references for the "Limestone Coves in the Blue Ridge" sub-ecoregion. Aquatic invertebrates and water quality parameters (metals, nitrogen, E. coli, etc.) are measured at each site every few years. Data has been submitted to the park.
Middle Prong of the Little Pigeon River 200 feet upstream of restricted road and 0.2 miles east of Greenbrier Cove, and Texas Creek just upstream of park boundary and Highway 321 are also sites included in their "Southern Metasedimentary Mountains in the Blue Ridge" sub-ecoregion, used to calculate water quality standards and criteria for the sub-ecoregion. These sites were sampled in 2011, with raw data returned to the park.
The Little River at Elkmont Campground was monitored in 2012 and 2013.
