Effects of land cover on sediment regime and fish assemblage structure in four southern Appalachian streams

SUMMARY 1. We examined the relationship between catchment land cover, sediment regime and fish assemblage structure in four small streams in the upper Little Tennessee River basin of North Carolina. Study streams drained similar sized catchments (17–31 km2) with different fractions of non‐forested l...
