Sharing pics of what tropical storm #Ernesto did to our study stream in #PuertoRico. Tree falls, lots of litter, and a major flood, but only minor damages. We lost some baskets and had to repair our flow reduction experiment. Nothing that cannot be fixed. #StreamFRE @NCStateAEC

One more year in our stream flow reduction experiment (StreamFRE). Our field tech, Kevin Santiago, gave us the tour (in Spanish) on a damp day in the rainforest!

Monitoring whirligig beetles (Gyrinidae) and their response to disturbances in Puerto Rico. We're monitoring their populations in our ongoing flow reduction experiment to understand how flow changes their habitat and abundance. A collaboration with @LUQLTER #StreamFRE

Monitoring inputs of leaf litter into streams. Vertical, lateral, and upstream inputs of leaf litter are important for the functioning of our study stream in Puerto Rico. On the downside, there is now a major pile of litter samples accumulating in the lab! @LUQLTER #StreamFRE

Aquatic insect emergence in Puerto Rico. One more sampling date in our long-term project. Assessing an important linkage between aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. #PuertoRico #StreamFRE

Welcome to our StreamFRE team - Kevin and Nicole join our aquatic team as technicians. They will be helping us study how stream ecosystems respond to hurricanes and droughts in Puerto Rico. @LUQLTER #StreamFRE

Quebrada Prieta, our long-term study site in #PuertoRico. One of our most important study locations where we are studying the response of stream ecosystems to droughts and hurricanes, along with our collaborators. Also part of the @LUQLTER program. @pabloguticr #StreamFRE

Another thank you to a key person supporting our research. Jesus “Chu” Gomez has been running our Stream Flow Reduction Experiment (StreamFRE) in Puerto Rico since 2018. Chu plays a key role as project coordinator, maintaining things running, and supporting our students. Thanks!

(Unbezahlte Werbung) Guten Morgen meine Schnuckels 🤗. Heute haben wir streamfre. Gestern Abend kurz #fortnite gezockt und habe mir einen #epischersieg geholt 👍🙃. Habt einen schönen Tag #twitch #TwitchStreamers #twitchaffiliate #twitchgermany #twitchgirl #twitchtv
