Macroinvertebrate Fauna

The effects of forestry activities on macroinvertebrate community structure were examined in the headwaters of Carey Brook in the south-west of Australia. The fauna at four sites on an upland stream that ran through a logging coupe were compared, before and after clearfelling, with the fauna at four nearby undisturbed sites. Mean species richness and mean total abundance declined at the treatment sites relative to the control sites after the commencement of clearfelling activities. The composition of the macroinvertebrate fauna in the disturbed stream changed in comparison with that in the undisturbed sites after logging started but returned to the pre-logging composition after winter and spring rains had stopped. The observed changes in the macroinvertebrate fauna occurred during the periods of high loads of suspended inorganic solids at the treatment sites. The possible reasons for the observed results are discussed.
