Description :
The AA. examine the rates and volume of sedimentation occuring in recently constructed beaver ponds of known age in the northern Rocky Mountains of Glacier National Park, Montana, USA. They describe how these factors vary by pond-site type, by position within a downstream chain of ponds, and by consideration of carbon dynamics. They compare their data to studies from the boreal forest of eastern and central North America.
