Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the
influence of light intensity and near-bed current
velocity on benthic periphyton and macroinvertebrate abundance in Snodgrass Creek, a
small, high-altitude stream (9700 m elevation)
located near the Rocky Mountain Biological
Laboratory. I hypothesized that benthic
periphyton would be positively related to both light intensity and near-bed current.
