Influence Of Current Velocity On Algal Responses To Nutrients In Poudre Watershed Streams

Beck , Whitney S. 1 ; Poff , N. LeRoy 2 1 Colorado State University 2 Colorado State University Streamflow is a master variable that regulates biological communities in lotic ecosystems. Laboratory studies have shown that current velocity influences how algal communities respond to stream water nutrients. Faster velocities can...
