Spatial and Temporal Variability of In-Stream Functioning within a Forested, Headwater Piedmont Watershed
… particularly temperature, shading, and dissolved organic matter dynamics. This study therefore attempts to elucidate the effects of these environmental variables on nitrogen cycling within the Fair Hill Natural Resources Management Area (Fair Hill), a forested watershed within the Piedmont …

Influence of Agricultural Land Use on Allochthonous Input and Leaf Breakdown in Southern Appalachian Streams
… and terrestrial ecosystems are linked through allochthonous organic matter inputs from streamside vegetation. This allochthonous material makes up the energy base for forested aquatic food webs. Therefore, removal of riparian vegetation associated with agricultural land use affects stream …

The role of forest stream corridor characteristics in influencing stream and riparian ecology
… to define the proportional contributions of allochthonous and autochthonous material within the benthos of the stream systems. This was done in order to define resource availability, biofilm characteristics, stream functioning and the role of corridor design in influencing resource …

Linking Heterotrophic Metabolism and Nutrient Uptake in Headwater Streams
… in headwater streams changes with shifts in organic matter supply and associated microbial activity by investigating these relationships in the predominantly heterotrophic conditions of a southern Appalachian stream. We measured litter input, organic matter standing crops, litter respiration …
