摘要: Abstract Riparian zones mediate chemical and biological exchanges between streams the terrestrial environment. In urban systems, these are often heavily modified by removal of native vegetation bank disruption. Management agencies have made considerable investments into restoring riparian through replanting. We investigated potential for plantings to restore invertebrate communities, comparing open forested (replanted) reaches over winter within three in Melbourne, Australia. Clear differences aquatic habitats, food resources fauna were evident reaches. Algal biomass on artificial substrates did not differ significantly Open had higher abundances taxa reliant autochthonous production as primary (e.g. gastropods, chironomids oligochaetes), while displayed a diversity associated with allochthonous resources. conclude that pla...
