Abstract
Decomposition of white ash leaf packs on four substrates was studied in New Hope Creek, North Carolina, USA. Sediment-specific decomposition rates and animal associations were related. Current velocity did not contribute significantly to the variation in sediment-specific decomposition. The dynamics of litter decomposition in streams can be more fully understood by simultaneously studying the dynamics of the benthic community.
