The present study was a part of a larger research project entitled ForStreams. Changes in catchment vegetation can have large impacts on stream ecosystems, especially through transport of terrestrial organic matter into them. The objectives of the present study were to compare non-forested and forested catchments in Iceland in terms of litter transport into streams and litter decomposition within them. This was the first study made in Iceland on the terrestrial-aquatic interactions in forested ecosystems. The main study consisted of nine run-off fed headwater streams in Fljótsdalshérað in eastern Iceland (N 65°01’–N 65°10’ and W 14°28’–W 14°48’). The streams either ran through treeless heathlands, birch forests (Betula pubescens Ehrh.) o...
