Figure 5. Conceptualized continuum ora large river after regulation by a high volume, high head storage dam in the montane transition
(compare with Figure 2). Tributaries downstream from the dam are assumed to be unregulated, Vertical bars on the plot of maximum
lempera!ure represent the annual range of annual maximum temperature across all habitats at any point in the river continuum. Num-
bers indicate stream order. The figure is not drawn to scale; transition reaches are often much longer than inferred
