Benthic microbial communities in headwater streams along a suburbanization gradient in Northeastern USA
This goal of this study was to characterize benthic bacterial/archaeal and fungal communities in headwater streams along a land use gradient from forested to suburban. Headwater streams were all within the watersheds of the Ipswich, Parker, and Oyster Rivers. These watersheds are are all coastal plain watersheds in the Northeastern United States.
