The Influence of Lithology on Stream Metabolism in Mountain Systems

Creator:

Cargill, Samantha K.

Abstract:

Physical disturbance in streams has important effects on the metabolic rates of gross primary production (GPP) and ecosystem respiration (ER). Underlying lithology can control sediment size, amount, and evolution in the stream, influencing substrate stability and its effect on benthic organisms. We assessed the patterns of disturbance and recovery of...
