- Statement
- Each stream was divided into an upstream control zone and a downstream experimental zone. Samples of benthic organic matter were collected using surber nets. Deciduous leaves were added directly to the stream and by fixing 'Onion bags' of leaves the stream bed and bank. Samples were collected using surber nets on five occasions, January (3-16/01/2013), February (4-7/02/2013), March (11-14/03/2013), April (3-8/04/2013) and May (22-26/05/2013) in all the streams in both the upstream reference zones and downstream experimental zones. Samples were immediately preserved in 70 per cent industrial methylated spirit on-site. In the laboratory, samples were rinsed in tap water over a 350 micrometre sieve, and all macroinvertebrates were separated from debris and preserved in 70 per cent IMS. The remaining material was then rinsed and retained on a 1mm sieve (Endecotts Ltd., UK), dried to constant temperature and weighed to the nearest 0.01gramme. Results were recorded in an Excel spreadsheet. Data was exported to a comma separated value files for ingestion into the Environmental Information Data Centre (EIDC).
