Benthic invertebrate data from the Someșul Cald, Someșul Rece and Someșul Mic Rivers, sampled in 2020
Description
The dataset describes an analysis of benthic macroinvertebrate communities from the Someșul Cald, Someșul Rece, and Someșul Mic rivers in 2020, across 23 sampling stations. It includes: a list of sampling sites with associated environmental characteristics (Table R1); a list of identified benthic invertebrate taxa with details on their assignment to ecological guilds (Table R2); taxonomic and functional diversity indices and water quality indices calculated for the dataset (Table R3); and zoobenthic indicator taxa with respect to elevation, human impact, and sediment structure (Table R4). The dataset is supporting the research paper: Cîmpean Mirela, Szekeres Edina, Teban-Man Adela, Coman Cristian, Battes Karina P., Taxonomic and Functional Diversity of Benthic Invertebrates Along a Human Impact Gradient (reviewed)
