Abstract:Reservoirs transform the physical, biological and chemical characteristics of rivers, altering their flow dynamics and the availability of nutrients. After a river is dammed, the species composition in the reservoir and its tributaries tend to change in response to the new conditions which are generated. This work investigates the tributary rivers and sites along the main channel of the Tocantins River’s middle course. The study was conducted between 2009 and 2013 in the pre- and post-dam periods to evaluate t… Show more
