Forest age influences freshwater biodiversity in temperate watersheds Forests can affect stream structure and function, but evaluations linking freshwater biodiversity to watershed-scale forest-stand conditions are limit…

Need healthy #FreshwaterHabitat?

A new study confirms #oldgrowth #forests (>75 years) are better for freshwater #invertebrates and #vertebrates than young forests.

Diverse #habitats in older trees support more unique and specialized aquatic species 🌍
