Influence of wildfire and harvesting on aquatic and terrestrial invertebrate drift patterns in boreal headwater streams

Forested headwater streams are strongly connected to their surrounding riparian areas via the transfer of energy subsidies that underpin instream food webs and, therefore, are highly sensitive to riparian disturbances that influence allochthonous inputs. We compared terrestrial and aquatic invertebrates found in drift across headwater streams in boreal forested catchments with wildfire, harvest with minimum 30-m riparian buffers, and reference...
