Datasets to evaluate whether habitat complexity can buffer the impacts of human land-use on stream biodiversity

Published by U.S. EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD) | U.S. Environmental Protection Agency | Metadata Last Checked: August 02, 2025 | Last Modified: 2023-06-11
Testing whether high, medium or low habitat complexity can effectively buffer freshwater biodiversity against human land-use impacts using the National Rivers and Stream Assessment 2008-2009 and 2013-2014 fish and macroinvertebrate datasets. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Moi, D., P. Kaufmann, L. Riato, G.Q. Romero, P. Kratina, F. Teixeira de Mello, and R.M. Hughes. Habitat Diversity Mitigates the Impacts of Human Pressure on Stream Biodiversity. GLOBAL CHANGE BIOLOGY. Blackwell Publishing, Malden, MA, USA, 30(10): e17534, (2024).
