Riparian vegetation and ground water inflow

When you cut down trees you take away shade from the creek and that makes the water warmer.Also when the temp raises Do drops.When there is dierect sunlight on the water

nutrients go into aquatic plants theses plants take oxygen away during the night

and give o2 during the day.Ground water inflow has low Do but colder than streams.

When it comes in the stream it can influence Do levels.
