Stream biodiversity: the ghost of land use past.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 8 Dec 1998

Harding J S, Benfield E F, Bolstad P V, Helfman G S, Jones E B

Abstract excerpt

The influence of past land use on the present-day diversity of stream invertebrates and fish was investigated by comparing watersheds with different land-use history. Whole watershed land use in the 1950s was the best predictor of present-day diversity, whereas riparian land use and watershed lan...
