| The ecologic influence of in-stream large wood (LW) was evaluated at reach scale in a third-order channel located in the Coastal Mountain Range, southern Chile. The tested hypotheses were that Coarse Particle Organic Matter (CPOM) retention is higher and benthic macro-invertebrates are more diverse in channel reaches storing higher volumes of LW. Three LW-low-volume reaches (mean LW volume of 8 m³ 100m-1 of reach channel length; plane bed morphology) and three LW-high-volume reaches (mean volume 262 m³ 100m-1; forced pool riffle bed morphology) were selected within a 1557 m-long segment of the study channel. CPOM retention was inferred from the difference between the number of leaves collected in the downstream end of each reach and the leaves introduced... |
