recommendations! Published in 2020 at "Biological Invasions"

DOI: 10.1007/s10530-020-02349-8

Abstract: The ecology of headwater streams is tightly linked to the riparian zone through organic matter subsidies which are highly susceptible to alteration due to biological invasion. Lonicera maackii is a non-native shrub that is a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10533-018-0518-y

Abstract: Our study aimed to analyze the effects of chronic nutrient loading on the capacity of headwater streams to retain phosphorus and ammonium pulses of different duration. For this purpose, we selected nine headwater streams located… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2019 at "Hydrobiologia"

DOI: 10.1007/s10750-019-04124-w

Abstract: Forestry-related land use can cause increasing instream sedimentation, burying and eradicating stream bryophytes, with severe ecological consequences. However, there is limited understanding of the relative roles and overall importance of the two frequently co-occurring stressors,… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2018 at "Forest Ecology and Management"

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2017.10.046

Abstract: Abstract The extent to which riparian understory vegetation in harvested areas can partially or fully negate changes in incoming shortwave and longwave radiation was investigated along 1st-order headwater streams. Despite similarities in shade provisioning, others… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2019.04.010

Abstract: Abstract Recovery of understory vegetation after clearcut harvesting has received much attention but little is known about the recovery of riparian vegetation after forest harvesting along headwater streams, despite the critical role vegetation plays in… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2020 at "Freshwater Science"

DOI: 10.1086/711756

Abstract: Secondary production estimates are an important element of ecosystem ecology because they facilitate quantification of the roles of consumers in material and energy cycling. We estimated production and resource consumption of stream macroinvertebrates, along with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/fwb.14333

Abstract: We investigated how microbial decomposition in headwater streams is influenced by environmental factors and litter quality, including the potential adaptation of microbes to decompose more efficiently leaf‐litter species from their native range (HFA, ‘home‐field advantage’… read more here.
