The assessment of shear stress and bed stability in stream ecology

Summary 1. Substratum stability and shear stress exerted by flowing water can have a strong influence on the structure of benthic communities. Bed stability can be characterised in a variety of ways, e.g. flow competence, threshold of particle entrainment, measures of erosion and deposition, particl...
