Functional Response to Resource Change across LTER Sites (Biodiversity of Riparian Ecotones)

Posted

Workshop Proposal: Biodiversity of Riparian Ecotones As ecotones between aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, riparian zones are templates for the dynamic exchange of energy, nutrients and biological interactions. Recent studies in headwater systems have suggested that these exchanges constitute reciprocal subsidies (sensu Polis et al. 1996) between streams and terrestrial riparian habitats (Nakano & Murakami 2000;… Read more »
