Published by U.S. EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD) | U.S. Environmental Protection Agency | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 12:50 AM | Dataset Last Updated: June 11, 2023
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).
