Journal ArticleDOI
Responses of periphyton and insects to experimental manipulation of riparian buffer width along forest streams
TL;DR: In this article, the impact of clear-cut logging on aquatic ecosystems has been evaluated in a series of watersheds along 13 headwater stream reaches in south-western British Columbia, Canada.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tributary streams create spatial discontinuities in habitat, biological productivity, and diversity in mainstem rivers
TL;DR: It is argued that maintaining the integrity of connections among and between ecosystems is essential for promoting habitat complexity and community structure within river networks.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a decision support process for adapting salmon recovery plans that incorporates local habitat factors limiting salmon recovery, scenarios of climate change effects on stream flow and temperature, and the ability of restoration actions to increase habitat diversity and salmon population resilience.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioaccumulation of heavy metals by benthic invertebrates at the arkansas river, colorado
TL;DR: In this article, a one-year biomonitoring study was conducted to determine the extent of metal contamination (Cd, Cu, and Zn) in a benthic community from the Arkansas River (CO), a subalpine stream impacted by discharges from historic mining operations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Establishing light as a causal mechanism structuring stream communities in response to experimental manipulation of riparian buffer width
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of light and water temperature on stream communities were investigated in a large-scale and small-scale watershed-scale experiment, and the results indicated that light was the primary constraint on periphyton biomass accrual.
