Understanding the ecological responses of streams to nutrient enrichment Research workshop held in Cork on 23rd-24th February 2009

The aims of the workshop are to:

• Explore the relationship between nutrients and primary producers, and determine the influence on this relationship of invertebrate grazing, canopy cover, hydraulic disturbance, water chemistry and nutrient stoichiometry.
• Address the applied issues of detecting and monitoring nutrient enrichment in streams.

The project team is bringing together Irish and international experts to discuss the relationship between nutrient enrichment and primary producers in streams.
