Fungal biomass, measured as ergosterol content, was determined on alder leaf litter incubated during autumn in a softwater Pyrenean stream. The ergosterol content of the leaf litter increased rapidly to a maximum of 462 ฮผg/g detrital dry mass. Ergosterol contents of aquatic Hyphomycetes grown in sha

Leaf litter processing rates and fungal biomass on leaf detritus were compared in four streams of different water chemistry. The streams drained catchments underlain by different bedrock types and varied in mean pH from 4 .3 to 7 .5 and in mean alkalinity from 0 .0 to 35 .8 mg CaCO3 1 -' . Processin
## Abstract This study evaluated if there are differences in leaf breakdown and invertebrate colonization among tree species differing in quality (toughness), and which factors could influence these differences. Common alder leaves decomposed significantly faster then either sweet chestnut or Spani
## Abstract Ergosterol and ATP concentrations, microbial respiration and sporulation rates of aquatic hyphomycetes associated with leaves of __Castanea sativa__ decomposing in a 5^th^ order stream were determined periodically over a period of 102 days in order to compare ergosterol and ATP as indic
