(2001): Particulate organic matter inputs to a glacial stream ecosystem in the Swiss Alps, Freshwater Biology, 46, pp Longitudinal changes of SPOM in relation to river channel geomorphology Yasuhiro TAKEMON, Kana YAMAMOTO, Shuichi IKEBUCHI Synopsis Longitudinal changes in size and source composition of SPOM (Suspended Particulate Organic Matter) were investigated in Uji River below the Amagase Dam and in Kizu River below the Takayama Dam under three different flow conditions. In Uji River, SPOM concentration ranged from g/m 3 AFDW (average flow), g/m 3 AFDW (high flow) and g/m 3 AFDW (draught flow). Aquatic plants were major source of CPOM (Coarse POM) through 14km reaches. In contrast, in Kizu River, SPOM concentration increased in lower reaches, ranging from g/m 3 AFDW (average), g/m 3 AFDW (high) and g/m 3 (draught). CPOM derived from reservoir disappeared in a short distance and percentage of terrestrial plants increased within 3-20km, and then riparian and sub-merged plants became major source in 20-45km downstream. The differences in the longitudinal patterns of SPOM composition between the rivers indicated that sandy bar structure functions as both a filter of drifting SPOM and a provider of new SPOM from the riparian vegetation to the channel in the river ecosystem.
