Patterns and Drivers of Extracellular Enzyme Activity in New Zealand Glacier-Fed Streams

Patterns and Drivers of Extracellular Enzyme Activity in New Zealand Glacier-Fed Streams

Glacier-fed streams (GFSs) exhibit near-freezing temperatures, variable flows, and often high turbidities. Currently, the rapid shrinkage of mountain glaciers is altering the delivery of meltwater, solutes, and particulate matter to GFSs, with unknown consequences for their ecology. Benthic biofilms...
