Hydrologic regulation of plant rooting depth
(National Academy of Sciences, 2017-10-03)
Plant rooting depth affects ecosystem resilience to environmental stress such as drought. Deep roots connect deep soil/groundwater to the atmosphere, thus influencing the hydrologic cycle and climate. Deep roots enhance ...
Larval supply of Peruvian scallop to the marine reserve of Lobos de Tierra Island: A modeling approach
(Elsevier, 2019)
The Peruvian scallop (Argopecten purpuratus) is the second main contributor to the total catch of mollusks in Peru, after jumbo squid. There are two main scallop banks populations in northern Peru: Lobos de Tierra Island ...
Diatom responses to natural and anthropogenic environmental changes in a Patagonian river, Argentina
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2020-10)
The Chubut River is a Patagonian river that flows from the Andes to the Atlantic Ocean, and is interrupted by a dam built at the middle valley. To investigate the sedimentary history of the lower river basin, a sediment ...
Variability of hydrological connectivity and fish dynamics in a wide subtropical–temperate floodplain
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2019-11)
Fish are subject to diverse stimulus in floodplain rivers resulting from interactions between environmental factors. In such complex and interconnected ecosystems, fish assemblages are thus highly dynamic across space and ...
Ecosystems
(Routledge, 2020)
The Paraná River is characterized by a high spatial and temporal heterogeneity that includes a wide variety of permanent and temporary ecosystems regulated by the hydro-sedimentological regime and hydrological connectivity. ...
Nutrient dynamics in the Paraná River Delta: relationship to the hydrologic regime and the floodplain wetlands
(Elsevier, 2022-04)
South America contains the most extensive freshwater wetlands in the world, associated with the floodplains of the Amazon, Orinoco and Paraná rivers. The Paraná River delta is a large wetland system strongly influenced by ...
The Manso Glacier drainage system in the northern Patagonian Andes: an overview of its main hydrological characteristics
(Wiley, 2012-02)
The Manso Glacier (~41°S, 72°W), in the northern Patagonian Andes of Argentina, is a regenerated glacier that, like many other glaciers in the region and elsewhere, has been showing a significant retreat. Glacial melt water ...
Fluctuations in the monthly discharge of Guyana Shield rivers, related to Pacific and Atlantic climate variability
(Taylor & Francis, 2012-06)
The discharge variability of the main rivers that drain the Guyana Shield is analysed over the last 50 years using cross-wavelet, coherence and composite analysis involving oceanic and atmospheric variables. We highlight ...
