This article discusses the composition, reactivity, and role of nutrients from riparian plant material on the Murray River, Australia. According to the authors, by changing riparian plants from Eucalypts to exotic deciduous trees and pasture, modern development has altered the type of carbon assimilated by Australian rivers. Plant materials entering the Murray River were analyzed for their composition and mineralization potential to understand the influences of plant litter substrates on biochemical oxygen demand. They found that aquatic herbs had substantial carbon availability, macrophytes and non-eucalypt leaves had intermediate carbon availability, while eucalypt leaf and bark had intermediate to low carbon availabilities. |
