Algal assemblages from shallow lakes of the Salado River Basin (Argentina)

Within the framework of a floristic and ecological survey on the phytoplankton communities of shallow lakes of the Salado River Basin (Argentina), algal assemblages were compared by means of a Cluster Analysis. Phytoplankton communities were typical of eutrophic and meso-eutrophic systems, with many...
