Water level as the main driver of the alternation between a free-floating plant and a phytoplankton dominated state: A long-term study in a floodplain lake

Mostrar todas las versiones(2)

This 10-year field data study explores the relevance of water level fluctuations in driving the shift from a free-floating plant (FFP) to a phytoplankton dominated state in a shallow floodplain lake from the Lower Paraná River. The multi-year natural flood pulse pattern in the Lower Paraná River dro...
