- Contributions of microbial biofilms to ecosystem processes in stream mesocosms (2003, background): “Thus, biofilms are highly efficient and successful ecological communities that may also contribute to the influence that headwater streams have on rivers, estuaries and even ocean”
- Crenic habitats, hotspots for freshwater biodiversity conservation: toward an understanding of their ecology (2012, background): “Evidence is growing that water quality, biodiversity, the ecological integrity of freshwater systems, and thus, their capacity to provide ecosystem services all depend on headwater stream function (Gomi et al. 2002, Lowe and Likens 2005, Meyer et al. 2007).”
- Small but mighty: headwaters are vital to stream network biodiversity at two levels of organization (2011, background): “Indeed, headwaters probably inherently harbor more habitat specialists (e.g., Gomi et al. 2002, Meyer et al. 2007) than mid-order streams.”
- Bank Erosion as a Desirable Attribute of Rivers (2008, neutral): “Bank erosion from headwater areas provides a source of weathered sediment that is stored for varying periods in downstream alluvial deposits (Gomi et al. 2002).”
- Biodiversity management approaches for stream–riparian areas: Perspectives for Pacific Northwest headwater forests, microclimates, and amphibians (2007, background): “This is critical because fishless headwaters typically drain at least 70–80% of a catchment area (e.g., Gomi et al., 2002).”
- Diatoms in springs of the Alps: spring types, environmental determinants, and substratum (2012, background): “Many headwaters are characterized by close coupling with hillslope processes and more spatial and temporal variation than downstream reaches when fed by 0-order basins with small storage capacity and shorter flow paths (Gomi et al. 2002).”
- Principles for linking fish habitat to fisheries management and conservation (2005, background): “…is growing scientific recognition of the importance of headwater streams and their riparian zones as unique habitats and as sources (and controllers) of energy, water, sediment, nutrients and organic matter to downstream reaches (Meyer & Wallace, 2001; Gomi et al., 2002; Wipfli & Gregovich, 2002).”
- The Diversity of Life in African Freshwaters: Under Water, Under Threat: An Analysis of the Status and Distribution of Freshwater Species throughout Mainland Africa (2011, background): “Thus, headwater streams tend to be isolated habitats for fully aquatic species, even if they are geographically proximate (Gomi et al. 2002), because there can be large ‘stream formally described or resurrected from synonymy each year (Stiassny 1999; Lundberg et al.”
- Linking Scales in Stream Ecology (2006, background): “To date, hierarchical spatial scale has been addressed more explicitly in investigations of physical and chemical processes in streams (e.g., hydrology, sediment dynamics, nutrient pathways) than in biological research (Dietrich et al. 1982, Gomi et al. 2002, Benda et al. 2004).”
- Productivity and significance of headwater streams: population structure and biomass of the black-bellied salamander (Desmognathus quadramaculatus) (2007, background): “Headwater streams in temperate climates are largely detritusbased ecosystems with little to no primary productivity (Wallace et al., 1999; Gomi et al., 2002 ).”
- Aquatic community structure across an Andes‐to‐Amazon fluvial gradient (2013, background): “The RCC has proven useful for understanding longitudinal turnover in stream taxa and functional groups, particularly at temperate latitudes where the concept was originally developed (Vannote et al., 1980; Gomi et al., 2002).”
- The Network Dynamics Hypothesis: How Channel Networks Structure Riverine Habitats (2004, background): “However, recent advances in understanding watershed disturbance regimes indicate how disturbance frequency and magnitude are organized by hierarchical and branching river networks (Benda and Dunne 1997a, 1997b, Gomi et al. 2002).”
- Reduced Streamflow Lowers Dry-Season Growth of Rainbow Trout in a Small Stream (2006, background): “The tight linkage of processes between hillslopes and small streams (Gomi et al. 2002) creates the potential for significant anthropogenic changes in the flow of small streams even in the absence of dams and largescale diversions; alteration of dry-season flow in response to changes in vegetation (K”
