Climate-influenced catchment hydrology overrides forest management effects on stream benthic macroinvertebrates in a northern hardwood forest

Our present understanding of the effects of natural and anthropogenic disturbances on aquatic systems in forested landscapes is based on a long history of studies relating physical, chemical and biological variables to biotic responses. The explanatory relationships resulting from this work have proven informative for ensuring environmentally-sound forest management, but such evaluations have not been applied to all forest types and management...
