Photosynthetic picoplankton in Argentina lakes

This article provides an overview of the studies on photosynthetic picoplankton (PPP) carried out in water bodies from different latitudes of Argentina, including Patagonian lakes and shallow lakes from the Chaco-Pampean Plain Region. The PPP of the different aquatic systems: shallow and deep lakes,...
