Influence of environmental predictors on hyphomycete assemblages in subtropical streams

Mayara Breda et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the effects of environmental predictors on aquatic Hyphomycetes assemblages in subtropical Atlantic Forest streams. It found that dissolved oxygen, electrical conductivity and pH influenced the Hyphomycetes community. Environmental factors like electrical conductivity acted as filters for spore output and affected species richness. These findings emphasize the importance of environmental predictors on aquatic Hyphomycetes assemblages and their impact on stream functioning.

Organic-matter decomposition as a bioassessment tool of stream functioning: A comparison of eight decomposition-based indicators exposed to different environmental changes

Veronica Ferreira et al.

Summary: The effectiveness of using organic-matter decomposition rates as a functional indicator for assessing stream functional integrity depends on the stressor considered and the substrate used, with different environmental gradients yielding varying results. Commercial substrates may be a good alternative to leaf litter in evaluating stream functional integrity, particularly in cases of nutrient enrichment.

Extreme temperature events alter stream ecosystem functioning

Javier Perez et al.

Summary: Studies have found that short-term extreme temperatures can alter the quality of litter in riparian soils and subsequently affect its decomposition within streams and the associated fauna, potentially changing stream food webs, ecosystem functioning, and biogeochemical cycles.
