Autotrophy in Stream Ecosystems
Abstract
Recent findings support reappraisal of the widely held belief that most streams are heterotrophic and dependent upon the input of terrestrial detritus. Autotrophic production is shown to play an important role in the economy of many streams, a fact which suggests the need to develop a more generalized theory of stream energy dynamics.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
