... FPOM even more faithfully resembled its source. In contrast, T. cornelia produced a macerated FPOM in which lignin content was substantially reduced, especially from leaves with highest initial concentrations. Cellulose was also reduced ...
... ( FPOM : < 1 mm . diameter ) . How- ever this process is only one source of FPOM . FPOM miy result from : 1 ) shredder and micro- organism feeding on CPOM ; 2 ) physical abrasion of CPOM by stream turbulence : 3 ) Fine particles eroded ...
... FPOM and heterotrophic consumption by collector - gatherers dominated the largest streams . Some functional groups , however , did not conform to predictions . This was attributed to anthropogenic disturbances in the Salmon River basin ...

... (FPOM). FPOM (<1mm diameter) processed in the low-order tributaries or flushed from floodplains often becomes a dominant form of organic matter and food source in large rivers. FPOM carried by the current is often called seston ...
... ( FPOM , 0.45 μm 1 mm ) . Also BOM has sometimes been divided by type of mate- rial leaves ( sometimes by species ) , wood , fruits , etc. - but the only consistent separation has been between leaves ( or " non - wood " ) and wood . In ...
... FPOM decomposition. This chapter describes a method to determine decomposition rates of FPOM in streams. The FPOM used in such studies can be obtained by (1) collecting FPOM in the field, (2) instream conditioning and subsequent ...
... FPOM also presents some disadvantages. Advantages of the FPOM: • Comparison between different temporal moments of the patent's value gives FPOM its high credibility. • FPOM is an intuitive method to present a patent's value. • FPOM is a ...
