Experiments and Observations on How Changes in Riparian Forests Affect Light and Stream Ecosystems

Creator:: Swartz, Allison G.
Abstract:: Riparian zones are ecotones between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Processes in streams are strongly influenced by riparian forest communities, age, stage and structure. Temperate forests across much of North America, including riparian areas, are recovering from historic land clearing with many stands in the stem-exclusion phase of development in which...
