Research Abstract |
Benthic invertebrate assemblage was different depend on the catchment forest types, oldgrowth forest, conifer forest and the mixed forest with coniferous and broad-leaved species. This tendency could be considered to apply at least in the temperate zone of Japan. And the difference of the benthic invertebrate assemblage was more influenced by geographically than forest type differences. Benthic invertebrate assemblage was also different depend on the geology. The possibility of slight change of benthic invertebrate assemblages depend on the forest age is also indicated.
