| Abstract | BIOSIS COPYRIGHT: BIOL ABS. Potamogeton foliosus (an aquatic plant) and filamentous algae from a settling basin with contaminated sediment became enriched with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), Co, Cd, Cu, Hg, Ni, Mn, U, and Zn. During the growing season, large amounts of the contaminated Potamogeton foliosus and algae were exported downstream from this basin to East Fork Poplar Creek (EFPC). We used drift nets to estimate the loading rates of the plants to EFPC, analyzed samples of the plants for metals, and conducted a series of experiments with snails (Elimia clavaeformis), amphipods (Gammarus sp.), and a microcrustacean (Ceriodaphnia dubia) to evaluate the possible effects of inputs of the vegetation to EFPC biota. Little of the vegetation that entered the stream was transported intact as far as 1.4 km. During the growing season, inputs of organic carbon to this 1.4-km segment of stream due to the deposition of the plants were at least 2.4 times greater than autochthonous production. Thus the v |
