Summary

From 20 May - 8 June 2021, a Virginia Tech team of 2-3 sampled the macroinvertebrate community in 30 Shenandoah Valley streams (Virginia and West Virginia, USA) as part of a larger stream-health study including other teams who surveyed geomorphology, water quality, flow, temperature,fish community, and fish health at the same 30 streams. The macroinvertebrate community team also characterized the habitat units sampled for macroinvertebrates. At each stream, we sampled macroinvertebrates in two ways:1) in each stream we took 5 slack samples in riffles according to NAWQA protocol, and 2) we selected the most available and productive habitat where we used the Slack sampler to collect 5 additional samples in wood debris accumulations, [...]

Purpose

These macroinvertebrate community data were collected as part of a larger interdisciplinary Shenandoah Valley field campaign (https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/item/636a6018d34ed907bf6a684f) to evaluate the effect of agricultural land use and conservation practices on holistic stream health.
