The epiphytic algae on floating macrophytes of a Paraná river floodplain lake

We describe the composition and seasonal (1993-1994) changes of epiphytic algae on the submerged parts of macrophytes (Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms-Loubach, Salvinia rotundifolia Willd., Lemna gibba L. and Ricciocarpos natans (L.) Corda) of a shallow lake from Entre Rios province, Argentina (3...

Seasonal changes in the community composition were chiefly due to the presence of thychoepiphytic species in association with the interchange of river and lake waters. It is concluded that the pattern of seasonal succession is governed by a complex interaction between hydrometric and seasonal changes. © 1996 Kluwer Academic Publishers. Fil:Tesolín, G.
