Habitat-specific metabolism and nutrient limitation within an oligotrophic Patagonian Lake

Published in Hydrobiologia, 2024

We used submerged high frequency sensors that measure light, temperature, and dissolved oxygen and wind data to calculate GPP and R in both lake habitats. In addition, we carry out nutrient enrichment bioassays with nitrate, ammonium, and phosphate to determine which nutrient(s) limit algal growth in each lake habitat

Human impact changes hydrological connectivity in a Patagonian fluvial basin

Published in Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies, 2023

We analyzed the interannual fluctuation in the surface area of Cronómetro Lake (January 2000 to January 2021). We also studied the periods of humidity and drought and the anthropogenic activities in the lake basin to understand their impact on water availability within the basin.

Characterization of algal community composition and structure from the nearshore environment, Lake Tahoe (United States)

Published in Front. Ecol. Evol.Sec. Paleoecology, 2023

A voucher flora, complete with descriptions, photo-documentation and referencing to species concepts employed, was created as a method of providing reproducible identification and enumeration of algal species, and more seamless reconciliation of detailed taxonomic data with future monitoring projects.

Paleoenvironmental Reconstructions Improve Ecosystem Services Risk Assessment: Case Studies From Two Coastal Lagoons In South America

Published in Water, 2018

We propose that the long-term history of the ecosystem provides valuable information that augments and strengthens an ES risk assessment and that it should be considered routinely when undertaking risk assessments. We adjusted a standard ecosystem-based risk management (EBRM) protocol to include paleoenvironmental data, and tested the modified approach on two coastal lagoons in South America

Is collaborative management always possible? The case of Sauce Grande River Basin, Argentina

Published in International Journal of River Basin Management , 2018

Given the practical and theoretical relevance that stakeholders’ participation has achieved in the frame of new approaches for watershed management, this paper aims to identify the possibility of implementing a collaborative strategy in the particular case of the Sauce Grande River Basin (SGRB), Argentina.
