| Summary: | This report summarizes activities associated with the Institution's Matamek Research Station during 1983. Research was conducted on the biological, chemical and physical environment of streams and rivers, principally in the Maisie and Matamek River watersheds, on the effects of beaver in shaping the dynamics of aquatic ecosystems, on salmonid ecology, on decomposition dynamics, on invertebrate community dynamics, on sedimentary diatom responses to acid precipitation, and on microbial production. Canadian universities, American universities, the University College of North Wales, the Quebec government, and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution cooperated in this program. Funding was provided by: Matamek and Education Programs of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution NOAA, Office of Sea Grant, Grant NA 80-AA-D-00077 National Science Foundation, Grant DEB 81-05677 Tai Ping Foundation National Scientific and Engineering Research Council, Canada Atlantic Salmon Association Department of Recreation, Fish and Game Province of Quebec University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario Natural Environment Research Council, United Kingdom
