The influence of connectivity in forest patches, and riparian vegetation width on stream macroinvertebrate fauna.
We assessed two dimensions of stream connectivity: longitudinal (between forest patches along the stream) and lateral (riparian vegetation), using macroinvertebrate assemblages as bioindicators. Sites representing different land-uses were sampled in a lowland basin that holds a mosaic of protected areas. Land-use analysis, forest successional stages and riparian zone widths were calculated by t...
متن کاملEffects of increasing temperature and, CO2 on quality of litter, shredders, and microorganisms in Amazonian aquatic systems
Climate change may affect the chemical composition of riparian leaf litter and, aquatic organisms and, consequently, leaf breakdown. We evaluated the effects of different scenarios combining increased temperature and carbon dioxide (CO2) on leaf detritus of Hevea spruceana (Benth) Müll. and decomposers (insect shredders and microorganisms). We hypothesized that simulated climate change (warming...

متن کاملHerbs and grasses as an allochthonous resource in open-canopy headwater streams
1. The organic matter dynamics of streams dominated by herbs and grass on their banks are poorly understood, despite the fact that such streams are common worldwide. Further, herbs and grasses can provide large quantities of detritus to stream food webs, and particularly small streams can be heavily shaded by overhanging vegetation, perhaps limiting in-stream primary production. 2. We quantifie...
متن کاملAvifauna and Riparian Vegetation in Carmel Valley, Monterey County, California
2 Wildlife biologist, George Whittell Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, Monterey County SPCA, Monterey, California; Senior Associate, Philip Williams & Associates, San Francisco. Abstract: Avian abundance and diversity were measured at 5 sites in the riparian zone of the Carmel River, selected to represent different conditions of riparian vegetation, in the spring of 1983. Vegetation varied from ...
