Purpose
The data set was collected to evaluate the effects of land-use change associated with oil and natural gas development (ONGD) on headwater streams and the associated mechanistic pathways (i.e., habitat complexity, water quality, and food availability). Specifically, we used structural equation modeling to estimate the effect of ONGD on each mechanistic pathway and compared the relative importance of those pathways for several macroinvertebrate assemblage and fish responses at 40 sites in six headwater streams.
