Differences in water depth determine leaf-litter decomposition in streams: implications on impact assessment reliability
Leaf-litter decomposition is a widespread functional indicator to assess the stream ecosystem status. However, the spatial location of leaf-bags could distort the impact assessment since intrinsic features of a given site have an important role in the spatial distribution of macroinvertebrates, whic...
