We sampled transported organic matter in Big Creek mainstem monthly from December 2010 to March 2011. During each month, transported organic matter was collected during 3 time periods (morning, mid-day, and night) for a 24 h period to encompass...
We collected aquatic insects monthly (December 2010 to March 2011) from thalweg and edge habitats with kick-nets (250-mm mesh). We also collected insects directly from an elk carcass in May 2011. Individuals were preserved in Kahle’s solution (...
We collected aquatic insects from the an elk carcass (May 2011) for isotope analysis. We also collected aquatic insects at sites without a carcass in March 2011 for reference samples (no-carcass treatment). Similarly to gut-content analysis, we...

We sampled biofilm (assemblage of living and dead autotrophs, heterotrophic microbes, and detritus on rocks) monthly from December 2010 to March 2011 at 36 study locations (18 thalweg and 18 edge) in the mainstem of Big Creek. Study locations...
In August 2010 we collected one 24 hr drift sample from 12 streams (4 of each disturbance class). From June to August 2011, we collected drift samples twice monthly for 15 streams (5 of each disturbance class). In 2012, we collected samples of...
We conducted an experiment on a total of three confluence areas (1 with a burned stream (confluence 1, Deadman) and 2 with burned + debris flow streams (confluence 2...
Fish abundance in the main-stem ecosystem surrounding its confluences with burned, burned + debris flow, and unburned streams was estimated by underwater surveys with mask and snorkel. Snorkel surveys encompassed habitat above and below each...

We collected water samples monthly from June to August 2011 and during late May and early September 2012 for analysis of nutrients and dissolved organic carbon. Water was removed from the thalweg of the stream with a syringe that was triple...
