Response of stream ecosystem function and structure to sediment metal: Context-dependency and variation among endpoints

Abstract Physicochemical and ecological attributes of ecosystems (i.e., environmental context) can modify the exposure and effects of metals, which presents a challenge for ecosystem management. Furthermore, the functional and structural attributes of an ecosystem may not respond equally to metals o...
