along with high rates of sedimentation, which impact aquatic ecosystems. Periphyton is monitored at one
site, with occasional blooms occurring, although there is limited data to provide a comprehensive picture of
algal growth across this FMU. Macroinvertebrate community
Typically, the composting process occurs in two phases. The first “composting” phase
