Pattern and control of primary production
Plant growth in most ecosystems forms the base or “primary” component of the food web. The amount and type of plant growth in an ecosystem helps to determine the amount and kind of animals (or “secondary” productivity) that can survive there.
Implications of diel fluctuations in streamflow on stream metabolism
Poster Number: 180 Presenter/Primary Author: Alba Argerich Stream metabolic activity (e.g., respiration, primary production, or nutrient uptake) is highly influenced by hydrologic conditions, not only because they determine the supply rate of reactive solu
