Ecosystem engineering by periphyton in Alpine proglacial streams

Abstract: Stream periphytons are candidate ecosystem engineers in proglacial margins. Here, we quantify the extent to which they are engineers for the case of hillslope‐fed tributaries in the terrace zones of proglacial margin alluvial plains. Candidate ecosystem engineering effects relate to periphyton‐driven changes in (1) vertical infiltration of water, which in turn could aid plant colonization and hence local surface stabilization, and (2) near‐bed hydraulics, notably near‐bed turbulence properties. We ran two flum… Show more
