Climate-driven changes of riparian plant functional types in permanent headwater streams. Implications for stream food webs.

Little is known regarding consequences of climate change on riparian plant functional types (PFTs) related to leaf traits, with putative domino effects on stream food webs, plausible even if the tipping point of stream-desiccation is not reached. We hypothesized that, as stream food-webs are highly...
