The atmospheric effects that influence on the signal registered by remote sensors might be
minimized in order to provide reliable spectral information. In aquatic systems, the …

The mechanistic model reported in Lee et al.(2015) estimating the Secchi disk depth (Z SD)
was applied to an oligo-to mesotrophic reservoir in Brazil. The model was originally …

Cascade reservoirs facilitate the effective use of water resources and help to alleviate
existing problems of water shortage in drought-prone regions. However, the geochemical …

Previous studies have shown the challenges in using a single model to estimate chlorophyll-
a concentration (Chl-a) in water bodies with widely differing characteristics. A single model …

Depending on the environmental conditions, surface sediments can retain all the
contaminants present and provide a record of the anthropic activities affecting the aquatic …

Climate projections models indicate that longer periods of droughts are expected within the
next 100 years in various parts of South America. To understand the effects of longer periods …

Macrobrachium amazonicum is a commercially important freshwater prawn with a high
degree of reproductive plasticity. The species is classified into two groups: coastal …

Dam construction leads to both sediment discontinuities and the creation of internal
phosphorus (P) loads in reservoirs capable of supporting eutrophication. Today, majority of …

There is a gap in the knowledge about how environmental factors affect functional diversity
and trait structures of macrophyte communities in altered waterbodies. We used macrophyte …

The objective of this work was to evaluate the suitability of three remote sensors, namely, the
Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), the Operational Land Imager …
