“…For instance, Stone and Wallace (1998) reported stream macroinvertebrate communities had recovered to reference conditions only 16 years after catchment clearcutting. Similarly, effects of harvesting on litter decomposition rates can last more than a decade (Griffith & Perry, 1991;Guevara et al, 2015;Webster et al, 2014;Yeung et al, 2017). In plantations where the harvesting cycle is shorter than the time needed for the recovery of stream communities and decomposition rates, we might anticipate an accumulation of effects of multiple harvesting cycles, although this has not been proven yet.…”

The need for tree-derived industrial products is causing an increase in the land surface covered by fast-growing monoculture plantations throughout the world. Species planted are selected mostly prioritizing their rapid growth, with less consideration to minimizing the negative environmental effects they create. Among the various ecosystems that can be negatively affected by plantations, streams are among the most impacted, as they strongly depend on dead organic matter from the surrounding vegetation. Changes in land use in favour of monocultures can have large consequences on stream biodiversity and functioning since they can lead to alterations in the diversity, quantity, quality and timing of litter inputs. Here, we review the literature dealing with the effects of plantations on litter decomposition in streams, with special focus on eucalyptus and conifer plantations, which have been more thoroughly studied than other planted tree species. The effects of plantations on litter decomposition in streams have a degree of regional specificity, and depend on the composition of detritivores, litter characteristics (of native and exotic species) and local environmental conditions. There is, nonetheless, a need for further research

“…Besides, these studies were conducted on a limited number of storm or snowmelt events (Heathwaite et al, 1989;Hattanji and Onda, 2004;Langlois et al, 2005). Furthermore, the impact of forestry operations on the dynamics of SS production and export is often estimated with a low sampling frequency (weekly or less; Grayson et al, 1993;Cornish, 2001;Nisbet et al, 2002;Webb et al, 2012;Guevara et al, 2015;Witt et al, 2016;Hancock et al, 2017) and/or with samples taken only during some (not necessarily the most relevant) high-flow events (Grayson et al, 1993;Cornish, 2001;Motha et al, 2003;Hotta et al, 2007;Webb et al, 2012;Witt et al, 2016;Hancock et al, 2017). This may reduce the accuracy of the annual SS flux estimation and thus limit the scope of the studies.…”
