Limnology and water quality in La Plata basin (South America) – Spatial patterns and major stressors
(2021-01-01)
The La Plata Basin (LPB) is a continental river-system, extending across five countries in South America. The study intended to discriminate limnological and water quality macroscale patterns and the determinants. Samplings ...
The geochemical signature of suspended sediments in the Parana River basin: Implications for provenance, weathering and sedimentary recycling
(Elsevier Science, 2016-08)
The Paraná River basin is one of the largest hydrological systems in South America. The present study focuses on the mineralogical and chemical composition of the suspended sediments exported by the Paraná River to the ...
Influence of large South American rivers of the Plata Basin on distributional patterns of tropical snakes: a panbiogeographical analysis
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2009-09)
Aim: The main drainages of the Plata Basin ? the Parana´ , Paraguay and Uruguay rivers ? begin in tropical latitudes and run in a north?south direction into subtropical?temperate latitudes. Consequently, the biota of these ...
Attribution of the river flow growth in the Plata Basin
(Wiley, 2011-12)
A regression approach was used to quantitatively estimate the attribution of the notable growth in the river flows of the Plata Basin during 1960–1999. The study was conducted in seven large basins that account for most ...
The dissolved chemical and isotopic signature downflow the confluence of two large rivers: The case of the Parana and Paraguay rivers
(Elsevier Science, 2015-09)
The Paraná River basin is one of the largest hydrological systems in South America (aprox. 2.6 x 106 Km2). Downflow the confluence of tributaries, most large rivers exhibit transverse and Longitudinal inhomogeneities that ...
A review of the suspended sediment budget at the confluence of the Paraná and Paraguay Rivers
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2009-10)
Abstract. In this paper the sediment budget at the confluence of the Paraná-Paraguay rivers, is updated on the base of new suspended sediment concentrations data, measured during the nineties at carefullly located ...
Evaluation of image velocimetry for the quantification of flow discharge and characterization of the flow field in the Pilcomayo River
(Rodríguez, Andrés, 2020)
The Pilcomayo River basin is shared by three countries: Argentina, Bolivia and Paraguay, which rises great challenges socially, economically and environmentally. First, from the social point of view, there are more than ...
Composition and richness of monogonont rotifers from La Plata River Basin, South America
(Revista Biota Neotropica, 2020-01-01)
We present here the first study that analyzed the composition and richness of rotifers of the entire La Plata River basin, the second largest in South America, based on simultaneous and standardized sampling. Fifteen large ...
