Effect of snails (Elimia clavaeformis) on phosphorus cycling in stream periphyton and leaf detritus communities
- North Carolina Univ., Chapel Hill, NC (United States)
In this study, the author examined the effect of grazing on phosphorus cycling in stream periphyton and leaf detritus communities using the snail Elimia clavaeformis. Phosphorus cycling fluxes and turnover rates were measured in a laboratory and in a natural stream, respectively, using radioactive tracer techniques.
