Integrating the physicochemical characteristics of aquatic environments with their biotas is
essential for the conservation and monitoring of biodiversity, given the sensitivity of both the …

Several anthropic disturbances, including deforestation, fires, the building of roads and
dams, have intensified in Amazon in last decades. These disturbances contribute to an …

The Amazon basin is undergoing an unprecedented transformation during recent decades
driven by anthropogenic-dominated disturbance regimes and increasing hydroclimatic …

Spatial and temporal variation in limnological variables, as well as local changes in the
hydrological pattern, may affect inundation hydrology and alter biotic interactions and …

Aquatic macrophytes encompass a highly diverse group of plants with different strategies,
niche requirements, and dispersion capacities. Therefore, macrophyte life forms can …

Temporal variation in limnological characteristics favors an increase in aquatic macrophyte
diversity in Neotropical riverine environments. We assessed temporal and environmental …

Aquatic herbaceous plants play a crucial role in Amazonian wetland ecosystems which are
characterized by their unique hydrological cycles and diverse plant life. However, the fragile …

Many different approaches to classify wetlands at regional and global levels have been
proposed, but their use of different classification parameters complicates comparisons of the …

Amazon wetlands are among the most vulnerable ecosystem to be impacted by climate
change, which may increase the frequency of extreme droughts and floods. We used …

Anthropic actions alter several aspects of natural landscapes. The loss of riparian
vegetation, for example, alters the integrity of streams and affects biological communities …
