Abstract:We analyzed the succession of soil organisms and nutrient dynamics under lotic conditions. We simulated typical runoff and erosion conditions in the laboratory using lotic mesocosms. We then analyzed the effects of soil waterlogging under dissimilar times of ooding on environmental variables, water nutrients, the concentration of chlorophyll "a", and the succession of consumer organisms in two systems (one with plankton, the other with arti cial substrates). The soil samples used were collected from a sector o… Show more
