Nutrient enrichment overwhelms diversity effects in leaf decomposition by stream fungi (2003, background): “Average fungal species richness in four eucalyptbordered streams was 36 vs 50 in streams of native deciduous forests, and the community composition had changed significantly (Bärlocher and Graça 2002).”
Does mixing litter of different qualities alter stream microbial diversity and functioning on individual litter species (2009, background): “Although composition and diversity of riparian tree species influences species diversity of aquatic fungi (Bärlocher and Graça 2002, Laitung and Chauvet 2005, Lecerf et al. 2005), mechanistic explanations remain largely unexplored.”
Eucalyptus plantations affect fungal communities associated with leaf-litter decomposition in Iberian streams (2006, background): “Also, L. curvula was more abundant in Portuguese than in Spanish streams as previously reported (Barlocher et al. 1995, Chauvet et al. 1997, Barlocher & Graca 2002 ), which could again be explained by higher water temperature in Portuguese streams.”
The utility of crop genetic diversity in maintaining ecosystem services (2008, background): “Barlocher and Graça (2002) report redundancy in the decomposer community; while riparian vegetation diversity affects stream fungal community diversity, litter decay rates do not differ between the fungal communities (Barlocher and Graça, 2002).”
The Role of Biodiversity in the Functioning of Freshwater and Marine Benthic Ecosystems (2004, unknown): “…species mixtures of leaf-degrading fungi from streams was significantly greater than predicted from the average contributions of component species in single cultures (Bärlocher and Corkum 2003),this result was not supported by correlational evidence from a field survey (Bärlocher and Graça 2002).”
Diversity and functions of leaf‐decaying fungi in human‐altered streams (2008, unknown): “Previous studies on fungal assemblages in streams have proposed that species composition and diversity of riparian vegetation and stream fungal community are intricately related (Bärlocher & Graça, 2002; Laitung & Chauvet, 2005).”
