Mid-late Holocene lake levels and trophic states of a shallow lake from the southern Pampa plain, Argentina

Changes in trophic status of the shallow Lake La Brava (southeastern Pampa plain of Argentina) are evaluated based on geochemical, biological and sedimentological data. Based on a conceptual framework, we propose that the lake level defines the water column mixing conditions, affecting internal lake...
