The role of shredders in detrital dynamics of permanent and temporary streams
… (POM) was evaluated in three permanent and three temporary southern Appalachian headwater streams. Shredder population dynamics were compared to several stream detrital parameters: CPOM breakdown rates, POM concentrations, average POM particle sizes, and POM transport. In general, permanent …

Assessing Organic Matter Breakdown and Associated Macroinvertebrate Community Structure in Headwater Streams: Effects of Hydrologic Gradients and Upland Timber Harvesting
… and upland timber harvesting with different streamside management zone widths on yellow-poplar (<i>Liriodendron tulipifera</i>) processing and the associated macroinvertebrate community structure in the Cumberland Plateau ecophysic region, U.S.A. Prior to upland timber harvesting, 5.0 ± 0.1 g …

Effects of Hydrologic Gradients on Woody Debris Breakdown and Macroinvertebrate Colonization in a Cumberland Plateau Watershed, Eastern Kentucky, U.S.A.
… study were to examine how stream channel type (temporary vs. perennial) affected wood processing dynamics (i.e., mass loss and macroinvertebrate colonization and standing stock patterns). Two questions were addressed: (1) do mass loss rates of wood differ across hydrological gradients in stream …

Characterizing and modeling wet stream length dynamics in Appalachian headwaters
Headwater streams change in wet length in response to storm events and seasonal moisture conditions. These low-order channels with temporary flow are pervasive across arid and humid environments yet receive little attention in comparison to perennial waterways. This dissertation examines headwater …
