The present dataset contains information about aquatic macroinvertebrates and environmental variables collected before and after the implementation of a small "run-of-river" hydropower plant on the Saldur stream, a glacier-fed stream located in the Italian Central-Eastern Alps. Between 2015 and 2019, with two sampling events per year, we collected and identified 34,836 organisms in 6 sampling sites located within a 6 km stretch of the stream. Given the current boom of the hydropower sector worldwide, and the growing contribution of small hydropower plants to energy production, data here included may represent an important - and long advocated - baseline to assess the effects that these kinds of powerplants have on the riverine ecosystem. Moreover, since the Saldur stream is part of the International Long Term Ecological Research network, this dataset also constitutes part of the data gathered within this research programme. All samples are preserved at Eurac Research facilities.
本数据集包含了在意大利中东部阿尔卑斯山的萨尔杜尔溪流上实施小型“径流式”水力发电站前后收集的有关水生大型无脊椎动物和环境变量的信息。在 2015 年至 2019 年期间，我们每年进行两次采样，在溪流的 6 公里范围内的 6 个采样点采集并鉴定了 34836 个生物。鉴于当前全球水力发电部门的蓬勃发展，以及小型水力发电站对能源生产的贡献不断增加，这里包含的数据可能代表了评估这些类型的发电厂对河流生态系统影响的重要（也是长期倡导的）基线。此外，由于萨尔杜尔溪流是国际长期生态研究网络的一部分，因此该数据集也是该研究计划中收集的数据的一部分。所有样本均保存在 Eurac 研究设施中。
