摘要

We evaluated the importance of terrestrial subsidies to fish populations in streams affected by urbanization including unrestored reaches, reaches with restored riparian zones and some channel restoration, and forested reaches that were below wastewater treatment plants (WTTPs). We examined the importance of terrestrial subsidies using stable isotopes of N and C, and using gut analyses of fishes. Fish were significantly more depleted in 13C at restored sites than at unrestored sites. This result is importance because it illustrates the increased role of riparian subsidies to the stream food web. This isotopic shift in the fishes is most likely due to increased use of detrital resources by aquatic macroinvertebrates, which were the most important component of fish diets, although increased use of terrestrial insects would also contribute to a lower 8-13C value in fish. Despite these trends, aquatic carbon was still the dominant basal resource for most fishes. As riparian regrowth continues, the importance of the terrestrial subsidy should also increase.
