Hello, Our group in the Office of Research and Development at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency would like your help. We are conducting a systematic review of stream algae and macroinvertebrate responses to nutrients and ask for any relevant studies or reports to consider. The focus of our review is ONLY on TOTAL NITROGEN and TOTAL PHOSPHORUS and its effects on CHLOROPHYLL-A, DIATOMS, and BENTHIC MACROINVERTEBRATES in FLOWING WATERS. We have completed searches of standard publication databases based on these parameters, but want to ensure that we have not missed any relevant publications that include primary data on these relationships (i.e., not reviews or meta- analyses).
If you know of any relevant studies, particularly difficult-to-find reports or older publications, please send a citation (for easily obtainable works) or a PDF in an email to: [email protected]. PLEASE LIMIT THE NUMBER OF STUDIES TO 10. If you have more than 10 studies for consideration, we can speak directly to better assess the relevance of the studies. Please send any relevant materials by 31 August 2017. Thank you in advance for your help! Best wishes, Micah Bennett, Ph.D.
