Stroud Center scientists deployed glass slides into three reaches of White Clay Creek with distinct streamside land uses: mature forest, restored but immature forest, and meadow from upstream to downstream. Molecular DNA fingerprints demonstrated variations of biofilm population structures on both natural surface and glass slides.
