## Abstract Retention of benthic organic matter (BOM) on the sediment surface of the Njoro River, Kenya was investigated between February 1998 and June 1999 at two sites, differing in channel morphology and riparian vegetation density and composition i.e. openβcanopy and closedβcanopy sites. Monthl

The allochthonous input of coarse particulate organic matter (CPOM) at the Mauerbach, a low order Austrian forest brook, was investigated from October 1990 to November 1991. Annual input rates ranged from 361.5 to 716.2 g dry weight m-z for the direct input and 46.6 to 594.9 g m-' for the lateral in
## Abstract Chalk streams are characterized by the presence of abundant stands of rooted macrophytes. There is typically a steep reduction in current velocity within stands and this promotes the trapping and accumulation of fine sediments. Fine sediments have also been shown to infill the gravel be
## Abstract The aim of this paper was to study the influence of environmental characteristics of the Mediterranean climate on seasonal variability of particulate organic matter abundance in a mountain stream. Coarse and fine fractions of both suspended and benthic particulate organic matter were de
## Abstract The knowledge on particle deposition in streams is mainly based on investigations in mountain streams. No data exist from lowβgradient sandβbed streams that largely differ in the morphological and hydraulic factors proposed to affect deposition. To identify physical control on particle
