Abstract:Rivers, as most bodies of water, are subject to eutrophication and water contamination, mainly from domestic sewage and industrial discharges from urban centers and agricultural areas. These growing human impacts result in a gradual loss of water quality and changes in biotic communities, including phytoplankton. Analyzing the dynamics of phytoplankton is important to understand how, in addition to hydrography and the physical, chemical and biological variables, human impact can be a controlling factor in this… Show more
