Summary

Data were collected from sixteen river sites within and around the Iracambi NGO (non governmental organisation) land in Rosario da Limeira, Minas Gerais, Brazil, during the wet season from September 28th to December 18th, 2022. The sites included eight rivers in unprotected areas and eight in protected riparian zones. The dataset includes measurements of abiotic parameters: air and water temperature, salinity, flow rate, pH, dissolved oxygen, nitrate, and rainfall. Freshwater invertebrate biodiversity was surveyed using modified kick sampling, and Biotic Index scores were calculated for identified invertebrate groups.
