Abstract: Aim We evaluated changes in periphyton biomass and the composition of benthic diatom communities along a gradient urbanization 10 coastal streams located on plain southernmost Brazil. Methods At each stream, we obtained limnological variables periphytic material from stolon aquatic macrophyte Hydrocotyle ranunculoides for further analyses chlorophyll diatoms. Results Total phosphorus was only variable selected by statistical models, showing positive relationship with negative...
The demand for low-cost and time-efficient biomonitoring ecological assessment strategies has increased due to threats biodiversity. We evaluated the ability of surrogates (genera biovolume classes) access information provided by diatom species. Moreover, we investigated whether relative importance spatial environment on communities identified at genus or classified classes reflects responses used biotic, environmental, data from Pampa streams. employed Procrustes analysis detect variation...
Abstract Aim Urbanization leads to rapid changes in ecosystem structure and function. Wetlands on university campuses under urbanization pressure could be used as case studies of multidisciplinary aquatic research good environmental practices promoting sustainability. Methods A paleolimnological study was undertaken a semi-artificial lake campus southern Brazil trace historical impacts ecological back the mid-1970s through complementary approaches: data, nutrients, δ13C δ15N stable isotopes,...
