Eutrophication is a common problem in lakes and reservoirs with high incoming loads of nutrients. The consequent algae bloom affects the water quality and causes incompatibility with tourist and recreational activities. ...

Reservoirs exhibit a marked degree of spatial heterogeneity, and environmental heterogeneity directly affects organism distribution and community composition. The objective of this study was to investigate the spatial ...

Considering the great importance of the Itupararanga Reservoir, Upper Alto Sorocaba basin/SP, this study aimed to report the variations of some parameters of water quality in the spatial and temporal gradients in this ...

Some species of copepods are sensitive to water quality oscillations from natural or anthropogenic causes. Information on basic ecological attributes such as abundance can be helpful in the context of hydric resources ...

The aim of this study consists in the evaluation of the trophic state index (IET) efficacy as a tool in the water quality analysis of three reservoirs. The IET was calculated based on water transparency in the reservoir ...

Understanding and modelling land use and land cover (LULC) change have become one of the major subjects of interest for environmental management due to the negative effects that human activities generate on the normal ...

A landscape ecotoxicology approach was used to assess the spatial distribution of copper in the recent bottom sediment (surficial sediment) of a Brazilian subtropical reservoir (the Guarapiranga reservoir) and its potential ...
