Leaf-litter breakdown in streams of East Malaysia (Borneo) along an altitudinal gradient: initial nitrogen content of litter limits shredder feeding

T Jinggut, CM Yule - Freshwater Science, 2015 - journals.uchicago.edu
Breakdown of litter in streams is an important terrestrial–aquatic C pathway in forests.
Macroinvertebrate detritivore shredders that feed on litter may be more abundant in
temperate than tropical streams because the feeding guild is generally restricted to cool
waters and because temperate streams may have more high-quality resources. However,
rich shredder communities have been found in some high-altitude tropical streams. We
investigated litter breakdown and the variation in resource quality of native riparian …
