Influence of river discharge on phytoplankton structure and nutrient concentrations in four tropical semiarid estuaries

Abstract This study evaluated changes in phytoplankton and nutrients after an increase in river discharge in four estuaries of northeastern Brazil. Samples were taken during a markedly freshwater-deprived period (Nov/2010, dry season), and during a rainy season (May/2011). While two estuaries are lo...
