Influence of light and mixing regime on bloom-forming phytoplankton in a subtropical reservoir
The joint influence of local climatic and hydrological conditions on the vertical distribution of bloom-forming phytoplankton was analysed for the Salto Grande Reservoir, a large and enriched subtropical system on the Uruguay River (South America). Threshold of physical factors hindering or impeding...

The joint influence of local climatic and hydrological conditions on the vertical distribution of bloom-forming phytoplankton was analysed for the Salto Grande Reservoir, a large and enriched subtropical system on the Uruguay River (South America).

Inflowing discharge, water level, and wind velocity intensity interacted with temperature, producing mixing and light regimes with overriding influence on the vertical distribution of Microcystis spp., Dolichospermum spp., and Ceratium furcoides, hence affecting their maximum abundance and biomass.
