Abstract

Terrestrial leaf-litter is the dominant energy input to many headwater streams and consequently the nature of the riparian vegetation can have profound effects on in-stream processes. The impact of conifer plantations on community structure and ecosystem functioning (litter breakdown) was investigated in field experiments in three countries (Britain, Ireland, Poland), each representing a distinct European ecoregion.
