Commenced: Feb 2002
Project title: Nutrient spiralling in small streams along a riparian land use gradient
Nutrient spiraling has been largely used to measure the capability of a stream to utilize nutrients. This research will correlate nutrient spiraling as measured by the mass transfer coefficient to the stream factors thought to control the uptake of nutrients, i.e. the amount and bioavailability of dissolved organic matter and nutrients, benthic primary production, temperature, and light in streams. In order to do this, the research will be conducted in streams with different catchment land-uses (e.g. forest and urban) that may have large differences in each of these factors.

Supervisors: Dr Mike Grace, Prof Barry Hart, Dr Gavin Rees (MDFRC)
Commenced: Feb 2002
Project title: Nitrogen cycling and bacterial bio-diversity in Australian streams
This project will examine the effect that the source of nitrogen has on the chemical transformations that occur in urban streams and the bacterial community responsible for the cycling of nitrogen. Understanding the rates of particular nitrogen processes in conjunction with the community structure and habitat within which different communities are located, would lead to a much improved understanding of both the potential impacts of different nutrient inputs, and the remedial actions, in terms of habitat restoration, that could ameliorate altered nitrogen loads to urban waterways.
