Members within the EdenDTC consortia have published a paper entitled “High frequency variability of environmental drivers determining benthic community dynamics in headwater streams” which is now available as an Advance Article in Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts. Article citation is Environ. Sci.: Processes Impacts, 2014, DOI: 10.1039/C3EM00680H and is available at the following link http://xlink.rsc.org/?doi=C3EM00680H. This paper discusses the sensitivity of diatom communities to stream discharge and nutrient condition in dynamic environments characteristic of headwaters and the critical duration of discharge and nutrient resource supply leading to change in benthic communities.
