Effects of volcanic ash on assemblage patterns and biological traits of Chironomidae in a north Andean Patagonian stream, Argentina
Negative effects on chironomid assemblages were found by comparing pre and post-eruption data along an altitudinal gradient affected by heavy ash deposition from Puyehue-Cordón Caulle Volcanic Complex. This study is an important contribution for conservation and restoration management of watercourses.
