Data for: "Experimental riparian forest gaps and increased sediment loads modify stream metabolic patterns and biofilm composition"

This dataset was used for the paper "Simulated riparian forest gaps and increased sediment loads modify stream metabolic patterns and biofilm composition". Raw data includes mesocosm stream channel oxygen data, temperature data, and flourometric chl a data. This manuscript is part of a larger project which aims at evaluating how current forest management practices effect ecological functions of headwaters. This specific dataset was collected to answer how fine sediments and light conditions affect algal biofilms in small, boreal waters.
