Effects of litter patch area on macroinvertebrate assemblage structure and leaf breakdown in Central Amazonian streams

Abstract Leaf breakdown in streams is affected by several factors, such as leaf characteristics, water chemistry, microbial activity, and abundance of shredders. In turn, shredders may be resource-controlled. We hypothesized that the size of litter patches affects leaf breakdown, because large patch...
