Abstract

Research in stream ecology has become imperative to protect the ecosystem from natural and human induced disturbances. By indulging in the variation of substrate makeup, light intensity, and current velocity, we can evaluate the composition of living organisms as well as the nutrients around them. This will help establish the causes and consequences of a damaged stream ecosystem.
