Title: Using stream macroinvertebrates to compare riparian land use practices on cattle farms in southwestern Wisconsin
Journal: Journal of Freshwater Ecology
Authors: B. M. Weigel, J. Lyons, L. K. Paine, S. I. Dodson, and D. J. Undersander
Date: 2000
Summary: For two years, in southwestern Wisconsin, Weigel et al. compared aquatic macroinvertebrate assemblages among stream segments within continuously grazed pastures, intensive rotationally grazed pastures, undisturbed grassy vegetative buffer strips, and undisturbed woody vegetative buffer strips. The results for macroinvertebrate response to watershed condition demonstrated that substantial, inherent differences among stream are likely to persist, even with careful selection of similar streams from one ecoregion in the study. Evidence showed that macroinvertebrate assemblages change within abou ...
