Understanding the mechanisms that enable species to coexist is essential for explaining community structure and biodiversity. Researchers compared the diets of two dominant stream predators in western…
Using data compiled from around the world and over decades, researchers showed that large wood mobility in rivers is infrequent and highly variable, influenced by a combination of wood characteristics…
Researchers studied the impact of experimentally reduced streamflow and increased temperature on fish and salamander. Results suggest that future shifts in community dynamics may favor trout under…
For aquatic insects, a major life-cycle event is emergence, the transition of the aquatic juvenile stage to a terrestrial flying adult. If aquatic insects experience warmer water, do they emerge…
Food webs show the architecture of trophic relationships, revealing the biodiversity and species interactions in an ecosystem. At the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest, researchers found that…
A recent publication out of the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest LTER site illustrates the role that summer research experiences can play in contributing to LTER science and in engaging and mentoring…
In a new study, Adam Ward will develop a framework to improve our understanding of dynamic exchange processes in the river corridor, thereby improving our ability to predict the transport and fate of…
Forest canopies along streams regulate stream light availability, which influences water temperature, in-stream primary productivity, nutrient dynamics, and, thereby, the entire aquatic ecosystem…
