Lotic systems act as nutrient buffers to receiving lentic systems. As streams transport allochthonous phosphorus through a watershed, the loads are modified in quantity and quality through biotic and abiotic mechanisms. ...

Terrestrial sources of nitrogen (N), such as N fixed by alder, may be important for sustaining production in headwater streams that typically lack subsidies of nutrients from spawning salmon. High nutrient concentrations ...

I investigated the effects of stream nutrient enrichment on aquatic insect stoichiometry, particularly in the context of species life-history traits, sex, and ontogeny. The majority of studies investigating nutrient content ...
