Pollution and Channel Type Effects on Trophic Structure in the Maipo River Basin

A dataset associated with a study on pollution and riverine structure changes affecting macroinvertebrate diversity and nutrition, and the silverside fish Basilichthys microlepidotus. The data was assessed using diversity indexes and Nitrogen-15 content. The dataset was authored by Jorge Cortés-Miranda and last updated on 2026-05-09.

Use Cases

• Modeling trophic structure changes based on pollution and channel type data mentioned in the description
• Analyzing macroinvertebrate community diversity using the described diversity indexes
• Studying nutrient flow and bioaccumulation using the described Nitrogen-15 content
• Assessing impacts on the silverside Basilichthys microlepidotus based on the described ecological relationships

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• File size is 27.8 KB, indicating a focused and manageable dataset.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
