Abstract
Invertebrate animals in headwater streams depend upon leaves, wood and bark for both food and living space. This project demonstrated the strength of that dependence where the patchiness in habitat is influenced at the smallest spatial scales by the movement of sediments, and at the largest by agricultural clearing.
