Cascade multisystem reservoirs are extremely complex ecosystems that require studies to improve understanding of their dynamics and functioning, including the effects of contamination with metals. In this work, superficial ...

Measurements of biotic homogenization are important for ascertaining the nature and extent of human impacts on biodiversity, especially in relation to habitat alteration, species introductions and water quality degradation. ...

In order to verify the effect of a cascade system in the water quality of two tropical reservoirs in Brazil, this work proposed to make use of the inherent optical properties (IOPs) as well as the specific inherent optical ...

In this study, a data set of total suspended matter (TSM), chlorophyll-a (Chl-a), total backscattering coefficient (bb) and the remote sensing reflectance (Rrs) were measured in the euphotic zone of two hydroelectric ...

Measurements of biotic homogenization are important for ascertaining the nature and extent of human impacts on biodiversity, especially in relation to habitat alteration, species introductions and water quality degradation. ...

We studied five tropical reservoirs in the cascade system of the Tiete River (State of Sao Paulo, Brazil) in order evaluate the suitability of a fish multimetric index (Reservoir Fish Assemblage Index-RFAI) as a bio-assessment ...

A series of eleven reservoirs was constructed in the Paranapanema River, southeast Brazil, for hydropower production. The phytoplankton structure and its relations with the environmental variables were studied in two of ...

Aquatic systems are complex systems due to the environmental pressures that lead to water quality parameter changes, and consequently, variations in optically active compounds (OAC). In cascading reservoir systems, such ...
