Trophic interactions within the microbial food web in a tropical floodplain lake (Laguna Bufeos,Bolivia)

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2005
Whether the primary role of bacterioplankton is to act as "remineralizers" of nutrients or as direct nutritional source for higher trophic levels will depend on factors controlling their production and abundance.

Budgeting suspended sediment fluxes in tropical monsoonal watersheds with limited data: the Lake Tana basin

Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2018
Soil erosion decreases soil fertility of the uplands and causes siltation of lakes and reservoirs; the lakes and reservoirs in tropical monsoonal African highlands are especially affected by sedimentation.

Limnology of Botos Lake, a tropical crater lake in Costa Rica.

Revista de biologia tropical, 2001
Botos Lake, located at the Poas Volcano complex (Costa Rica) was sampled eight times from 1994 to 1996 for physicochemical conditions of the water column and phytoplanktonic community composition. Depth was measured at fixed intervals in several transects across the lake to determine its main morphometric characteristics.
