Brazilian wetlands: their definition, delineation, and classification for research, sustainable management, and protection
(Chichester, 2013-08-15)
Although 20% of Brazilian territory is covered by wetlands, wetland inventories are still incomplete. In 1993, Brazil signed the Ramsar Convention but a coherent national policy for the sustainable management and protection ...
Hybrid constructed wetlands as post-treatment of blackwater: An assessment of the removal of antibiotics
(2021-01-15)
New sanitation systems have been developed to treat, recover energy and nutrients, and permit reuse processes at the source of generation, minimizing water use and flow segregation. Thus, this study was carried out with ...
Treatment efficiency of effluent prawn culture by wetland with floating aquatic macrophytes arranged in series
(Int Inst Ecology, 2014-11-01)
The efficiency of a series of wetland colonized with Eichhornia crassipes and Salvinia molesta to treat the effluent of a giant river prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) broodstock pond was evaluated in this study. The ...
Respirometric techniques for assessment of biological kinetics in constructed wetland
(I W A Publishing, 2007-01-01)
The aim of this research was the development of a procedure to measure biological kinetics of organic matter oxidation and nitrification in constructed wetland, by using respirometric techniques. Columns simulating cores ...
Vereda and Murundu wetlands and changes in Brazilian environmental laws: challenges to conservation
(Springer, 2015-04-01)
Vereda and Murundu wetlands are widespread in the Cerrado (Brazilian savannah). The wetlands occupy topographic depressions on the flat plateau, which are permanently or seasonally waterlogged, with topsoil that has high ...
Natural superficial water storage and aquifer recharge assessment in Brazilian savanna wetland using unmanned aerial vehicle and geophysical survey
(2020-01-01)
Human pressure on the water resources provided by natural isolated wetlands has intensified in Brazil due to an increase in agricultural land equipped with irrigation. However, the amount of water stored in these areas and ...
A model for estimating the vegetation cover in the high-altitude Wetlands of the Andes (HAWA)
(MDPI AG, 2019)
The natural salt meadows of Tilopozo in the hyperarid, Atacama Desert of northern Chile, which are located at approximately 2800 m above sea level, are under pressure from industrial activity, and cultivation and grazing ...
Invertebrate assemblages associated with leaf litter in three floodplain wetlands of the Paraná River
(Springer, 2009-09)
We analyzed invertebrate abundance and richness associated with decomposing litter across three riverine wetlands with different inundation regimes located in the alluvial floodplain of the Parana´ River. Three replicate ...
Long-term spatiotemporal variability in high andean wetlands in northern Chile
(Elsevier, 2021)
High Andean wetlands of the elevated plateaus of the Andes Mountains of Chile, Argentina, Peru and Bolivia are true oases that sustain life in this arid region. Despite their ecological value, they have been rarely studied ...
Changing fluvial styles and backwater flooding along the Upper Paraguay River plains in the Brazilian Pantanal wetland
(2020-02-01)
The channel-floodplain relationship is used to understand flooding dynamics in the Pantanal wetland. To understand how different fluvial styles along the Upper Paraguay River (UPR) control the hydrology of the Pantanal ...
