Assessment of climate change on the future water levels of the Iberá wetlands, Argentina, during the twenty-first century

Mostrar todas las versiones(4)

The Iberá wetlands, located in La Plata Basin, is a fragile ecosystem habitat of several species of flora and fauna and it also constitutes one of the largest inland freshwater of the world. In this study, the hydroclimatologic response to projected climatic changes in the Iberá wetlands is assessed...
