Cold fronts and reservoir limnology: an integrated approach towards the ecological dynamics of freshwater ecosystems

In this paper the authors discuss the effects of cold fronts on the dynamics of freshwater ecosystems of southeast South America. Cold fronts originating from the Antarctic show a monthly frequency that promotes turbulence and vertical mixing in reservoirs with a consequence to homogenize nutrient d...
