Pampean streams are surrounded by mid-large urbanizations with low efficiency of wastewatertreatment. Also, seasonality in these streams can highly change the water temperature and level. To analyze stream functioning, we design a litter decomposition experiment under urban disturbance for the autumn and spring season along three Pampean streams running through urban areas. We used fine mesh (FM;
