Lakes are classified by thermal mixing regimes, with shallow waterbodies historically
categorized as continuously mixing systems. Yet, recent studies demonstrate extended …

Natural and synthetic steroid hormones, excreted by humans and farmed animals, have
been considered as important sources of environmental endocrine disruptors. A suite of …

Shallow lakes often alternate between two possible states: one clear with submerged
macrophytes, and another one turbid, dominated by phytoplankton. A third type of shallow …

The morpho-functional classifications of phytoplankton have been recently proposed as
useful tools in the aquatic biomonitoring. In this study, we compared three different …

Lake eutrophication is a pervasive problem globally, particularly serious in agricultural and
densely populated areas. Whenever nutrients nitrogen and phosphorus do not limit …

We studied the seasonal dynamics of suspended particulate matter in a turbid, large shallow
lake during an annual period (2005–06). We relate the patterns of seston concentration …

Areal variation in lakes is closely associated with other factors such as intensity of land use
of the hydrological basins, climatology, geomorphology and depth. The main objective of …

Significant reductions in the water levels of lakes are influenced by droughts and freshwater
demands, especially in semi-arid regions, where hydric stress is greater. The aim of this …

Picocyanobacteria can occur as single‐cell (Pcy) or as colonies (CPcy). Published evidence
suggests that some Pcy strains have the capability to aggregate under certain culture …

The aim of this study was to assess fluctuations in daily water temperature in Chascomús
Lagoon during one year, and to evaluate whether the highest temperature recorded during …
