Macroinvertebrate data from the South Fork McKenzie River in Oregon, USA before and after a wildfire event, 2019 to 2021

Data comprise macroinvertebrate count data (identified to species level), trait and classification information, as well as information on macroinvertebrate biomass and site-specific observations (e.g. canopy cover, habitat type, etc.) collected from the South Fork McKenzie river, Oregon, USA in Autumn 2019 and 2020, and winter of 2021 following the Holiday Farm wildfire in Autumn 2020. Samples were collected from restored and unrestored river reaches to quantify the difference in the response of benthic macroinvertebrate response to wildfire.

The study was conducted by the University of Nottingham, with data collected by partners from the US Forest Service, Portland State University, Washington State University and Colorado State University. The work was funded by the Natural Environment Research Council.

数据集包含2019年与2020年秋季、以及2020年秋季假日农场野火（Holiday Farm wildfire）后2021年冬季在美国俄勒冈州麦肯齐河南支流采集的大型无脊椎动物（macroinvertebrate）计数数据（鉴定至物种水平）、性状（trait）与分类信息，以及大型无脊椎动物生物量数据和位点特异性观测信息（如冠层覆盖度、栖息地类型等）。样本采集自修复河段与未修复河段，旨在量化底栖大型无脊椎动物（benthic macroinvertebrate）对野火响应的差异。
本研究由诺丁汉大学（University of Nottingham）主导，数据由美国林务局（US Forest Service）、波特兰州立大学（Portland State University）、华盛顿州立大学（Washington State University）及科罗拉多州立大学（Colorado State University）的合作方采集。研究工作得到自然环境研究理事会（Natural Environment Research Council）资助。
