Abstract

Reading the Leaves Excess inputs of nutrients—a type of pollution known as eutrophication—threatens biodiversity and water quality in rivers and streams. Woodward et al. (p. 1438 ; see the Perspective by Palmer and Febria ) studied how one key ecosystem process—leaf-litter decomposition—responds to eutrophication across a large nutrient pollution gradient in 100 European streams. Leaf breakdown was stimulated by low to moderate nutrient concentrations but was inhibited at high rates of nutrient loading.
