Running water atenuation by Tessaria integrifolia RIVERINE FORESTS

The flow interference effect of the Tessaria integrifolia forest intwo islands of the Paraná River, located dounstream of the Paraná-Paraguay rivers confluence, was studied. Current velocity, suspended sediments, channel depth, water transparency, tree density, tallness and coverage, were measured i...
