| Abstract | The major objectives of this chapter are to (1) synthesize our current knowledge relative to the biotic structure and function of high-gradient streams in the Southeast; (2) identify factors that control or regulate biotic structure and function in these systems; (3) evaluate the impact of various management (and mismanagement) practics on the biota of streams within the region; and, (4) address immediate and long-term research needs for high-gradient streams. |
