Abstract:Aim In this study, we investigated the beta diversity of macrophytes (total, turnover, and nestedness) in Caxiuanã Bay, localized in the Eastern Amazon. We also investigated the environmental factors determining the beta diversity and its components. Methods Macrophytes and physical-chemical variables (pH, water temperature, electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen, and water turbidity) were sampled in 45 sites in 2017. Beta diversity was calculated based on Jaccard dissimilarity (using a presence/absence ma… Show more
