The trophic state of many streams is likely to deteriorate in the future due to the continuing
increase in human‐induced nutrient availability. Therefore, it is of fundamental importance to …

Aim Leaf litter decomposition in freshwater ecosystems is a vital process linking ecosystem
nutrient cycling, energy transfer and trophic interactions. In comparison to terrestrial …

Detrital food webs of woodland streams depend on terrestrial litter input and, thus, are
susceptible to changes in riparian cover. We assessed effects of litter species richness and …

Understanding the consequences of ongoing biodiversity changes for ecosystems is a
pressing challenge. Controlled biodiversity-ecosystem function experiments with random …

The present study aims to verify possible changes in the functional feeding group (FFG)
structure of benthic macroinvertebrates related to changes in headwater streams riparian …

We hypothesized topographic features alone could be used to locate groundwater
discharge, but only where diagnostic topographic signatures could first be identified through …

Headwater streams are the most numerous in terms of both number and length in the
conterminous United States and play important roles as spawning and rearing grounds for …

Riparian wetlands are dynamic components of landscapes. Located between uplands and
aquatic environments, riparian habitats intercept sediments and nutrients before they enter …

Headwater streams are typically closely connected with the surrounding watershed
landscape, making them sensitive to local watershed conditions. Headwater streams of the …

While Pacific salmon are economically and culturally important worldwide, Alaska, USA is
one of the few remaining places on earth where sustainable management of salmon is …
