## Abstract Decomposition of __Juglans regia__ leaves was studied in fine and coarse mesh bags in a permanent mountain stream in Oman. A rapid initial mass loss, attributed to leaching, was followed by a more gradual decline. Daily exponential decay rates (k) calculated over 32 days were 0.011 (fin

## Abstract This research is a contribution to an integrated overview of the alpine lowβorder river ecosystem. We associated the results obtained from colonization and breakdown processes (functional aspects, __i.e.__ colonization of natural and artificial leaf packs and of artificial inorganic sub
## Abstract We conducted a transplant experiment between two streams in NW Portugal impacted by agricultural runoff, mainly differing in phosphate concentration, to determine whether fungi on decomposing leaves would adapt to the new environment or would be replaced by fungi of the recipient stream
Leaf breakdown of two riparian tree species, Cunonia capensis L. and Ilex mitis (L .) Radlk . was investigated in vitro at Window Stream, Table Mountain, using three different designs of litter bag . Breakdown of Cunonia and flex in coarse-mesh (5 mm) litter bags was very rapid (respectively 14 .79
