Benthic algal resilience to frequent wet-season storm flows in low-order streams in the Australian tropical savanna

Abstract Storm-flow disturbances are frequent during the wet season of Australian tropical savannas. We examined benthic algal resistance and resilience in open-canopy streams in the Daly River watershed. Storm flows occurred every 2 to 3 d at 1st- to 4th-order sites, with sharp rises and falls and...
