Physical Summary:
The banks on the edge of the stream are eroded, which can lead to more particles being deposited into the water. There is a slight current that can transport nutrients throughout the stream. There is also a lot of tree cover tat helps to keep the temperature down, which can increase dissolved oxygen content.
