Abstract:

Allochthonous litter inputs are a primary source of organic matter in low-order forested streams. A major component of this litter moves through small streams as fine particulate organic matter (FPOM). Litter decomposition has been well studied, but few studies have examined benthic FPOM (FBOM) dynamics. The purpose of this study...
