Phytoplankton of the Iberá system

The Iberá system is one of the largest wetlands in South America with scarce anthropic disturbances. In this Mesopotamic region waters have low conductivity and the main nutrients are generally present in low concentrations. The shallow lakes of the Iberá system are surrounded by extensive swamps by...

Phytoplankton density showed seasonal variations, with minima in autumn-winter and maxima in spring-summer.
