| Title | The Fate and Cycling of Nitrogen, Phosphorous, and Trace Heavy Metals in Beaver-Altered Headwater Streams |
| Creator | Murray, Desneiges S. |
| Description | Human land-use can increase the amount of non-point source (NPS) pollution in a stream, negatively affecting ecosystem health and beneficial services provided by an ecosystem. Unfortunately, NPS pollution remains high in many waterbodies. Beaver dams may be a passive, cost-effective strategy for removing NPS pollution in headwater streams because beaver dams slow stream flow and collect sediments. Impounded sediments can change how nutrients and pollutants are cycled in a stream through... |
