Limnological characteristics and seasonal changes in density and diversity of the phytoplanktonic community at the Caçó pond, Maranhão State, Brazil
Seasonal changes of the phytoplanktonic community and limnological abiotic characteristics of Caçó pond (Maranhão State, Brazil) was evaluated from two field researches during the rainy (April 1999) and dry (November 1999) seasons. Measurements of twelve chemical and physical variables and phytoplan...
