Toronto Streams Contaminants and Biodiversity Supplemental Data

Supplemental data and code for a manuscript submitted in June 2026. The dataset likely contains measurements of contaminants and biodiversity indicators from streams in Toronto. It was authored by Chelsea Rochman and is hosted on the Borealis Harvested Dataverse platform.

Use Cases

• Model contaminant concentrations based on stream location and environmental factors.
• Analyze correlations between biodiversity metrics and pollutant levels.
• Validate ecological models using field-collected stream data.
• Assess the impact of urban stressors on freshwater ecosystems.

Strengths

• Data is associated with a peer-reviewed manuscript, suggesting a research-grade standard.
• The dataset has a specific geographic focus on Toronto streams.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
