Several gaps need to be filled to the knowledge of this process in subtropical environments and, accordingly, the thesis aimed to conduct some investigations considering the decomposition of leaf litter in streams. Four studies were conducted in subtropical streams with the following objectives: a) to verify the quantitative importance of the leaf input into streams, the main sources of input and its variation over the year; b) to analyze the influence of the leaf litter quality on decomposition and macroinvertebrate...
