The seasonal influence of tidal regimes on sulfidic conditions was studied in intertidal environments from a mangrove estuary in Northern Peru. Along two sampling stations, creek water and sediment cores were collected ...

Conventional approaches to pollution prevention in South American countries have traditionally relied on scientists identifying potentially harmful substances and practices, and advising regulators concerning exposures and ...

The effect of forests on flow and flood lamination decreases as the magnitude and intensity of torrential events and the watershed surface increase, thus resulting negligible when extreme events affect large catchments. ...

We studied 'living' (stained) benthic foraminifera in the upper border of the Peruvian oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) to determine the relationship between species' distribution and pore water and sediment geochemistry under ...

Two rivers located in the subtropical Chaco</place /> plain are compared in order to analyse the sediment transport dynamics. Gauging and sediment samples were obtained during different hydrological stages. Grain size and ...

A tropical mangrove forest in Northern Peru was studied to determine if physical and biogeochemical characteristics of creek water and subtidal sediments are related to the seasonal hydrological regimes. The results showed ...
