Effects of Watershed Perturbation on Stream Potassium and Calcium Dynamics
Abstract
Three small streams located at Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory, North Carolina, USA, on an old field watershed, a pine plantation watershed, and a hardwood forest watershed were investigated to determine effects of watershed perturbation on K and Ca dynamics in the stream ecosystems. Data collected included measurements of litterfall inputs, large particulate organic matter and benthic organism standing crops, large particulate organic matter and organism drift, and insect emergence. We used 85 Sr and 134 Cs to estimate detritivore ingestion and elimination rates of Ca and K, respectively. We found that watershed perturbations had altered stream inputs and caused accompanying changes in the stream fauna. Our results indicated that the perturbed streams had less efficient physical processing of allochthonous inputs, but greater biological utilization of inputs. The streams exhibited high resilience to perturbation with complete recovery limited by the recovery rate of allochthonous inputs.

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.
