Environmental drivers of stream metabolism in a middle TN headwater stream. by Ming Chen, John C Ayers

“…East Fork Creek shows a heterotrophic metabolic regime for 54 of 57 campaign days and therefore consumes O2 and emits CO2 to the atmosphere throughout the year. If carbon inputs are not a limiting factor, the positive temperature dependence of ER may cause increased CO2 emissions from headwater streams and more frequent hypoxia events in a warming climate.…”
