- Moderate / contextual
- Monitoring
- Kauaʻi-specific abundance, seasonal dynamics, host specificity, strain identity, micro-site behavior, and specialist-source assertions should be expanded as source material is contributed.
- Data gaps

Process and seasonal context
- Seasonal timing
- Not specified in Microorganisms v1.0.0
- Seasonal description
- Stream microbial drift community is included because it is relevant to Kauaʻi conservation, agriculture, freshwater/reef function, disease ecology, biosecurity, or public environmental health.
