Organic Matter Decomposition and Ecosystem Metabolism as Tools to Assess the Functional Integrity of Streams and Rivers–A Systematic Review
(MDPI, 2020-12-15)
Streams and rivers provide important services to humans, and therefore, their ecological integrity should be a societal goal. Although ecological integrity encompasses structural and functional integrity, stream bioassessment ...
Latitude Dictates Plant Diversity Effects on Instream Decomposition
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2021-03)
Running waters contribute substantially to global carbon fluxes through decomposition of terrestrial plant litter by aquatic microorganisms and detritivores. Diversity of this litter may influence instream decomposition ...
Impacts of Detritivore Diversity Loss on Instream Decomposition Are Greatest in the Tropics
(Springer, 2021-06-17)
The relationship between detritivore diversity and decomposition can provide information on how biogeochemical cycles are affected by ongoing rates of extinction, but such evidence has come mostly from local studies and ...
