Figure 1. Stable isotope food web plots for forested <strong>and</strong> non-forested riparian areas, Sugar Creek<br />

watershed, northeastern Ohio for the spring of 2008. Symbols represent the mean δ 13 C <strong>and</strong> δ 15 N<br />

values (± 1 SE) for each basal resource (A) <strong>and</strong> consumer taxonomic grouping (B). Note there were<br />

no woody riparian basal resources sampled for the non-forested riparian areas.<br />
