dc.description.abstract | In this study, we surveyed the physical and biotic characteristics of seven beaver dams on the West branch of the Maple River. The objective was to determine if beaver dams have a negative effect on the trout habitat of the stream. We measured dissolved oxygen and temperature of the water above and below each dam, and we collected macroinvertebrates above and below each dam. There were no significant differences in dissolved oxygen and water temperature above the dams vs. below the dams. There is no significant difference in macroinvertebrate diversity or functional feeding groups on either side of the beaver dams. However, the macroinvertebrate species richness and abundance are both significantly greater downstream of the dams. | en_US |
