Abstract: Wider spatial and temporal scales must be considered by ecohydrological research in order to understand the variations in ecohydrological functioning over scales that are relevant for effective management. To collect the data necessary to conduct such research would require significant time and resources often unavailable to researchers. Broad-scale datasets, extensive monitoring datasets collected by regulatory bodies for policy compliance, may offer a solution. Many developed countries across the globe have vast amounts of aquatic monitoring data that is under exploited by scientists. We demonstrate that such datasets can produce powerful results at a national scale and can be used to explore ecohydrological processes.
