Effects of land use on oxygen uptake by microorganisms on fine benthic organic matter in two Appalachian mountain streams

Oxygen uptake rates by fine benthic organic matter were measured on samples from two Appalachian mountain streams to determine the effects of land use patterns on microbial respiration. Both Coweeta Creek in western North Carolina, and Wolf Creek in western Virginia, flow through national forest,...
