	abstract = { Discusses results from artificial stream experiments in relation to the effects of effluent stressors and nutrient enrichment on benthic algal and invertebrate communities; also compares results from autumn 1993 and 1994 to document between-year variability in the relationships between effluent additions, and effects on primary and secondary producers. Results from spring 1994 are contrasted with those from autumn 1993 and 1994 to assess the importance of seasonal changes in moderating the nutrient-contaminant effects on benthic food web interactions. The artificial stream experiments were designed to decouple the effects on the riverine food web of the potentially confounding effects of nutrients and contaminants within effluent. By comparing the effects of nutrient and effluent treatments on different trophic components of the food web, the study was able to provide a mechanistic understanding of the stimulatory and/or inhihbitory effects of pulp mill effluents on the benthic food webs of the Athabasca River.},
