An application of Bayesian Belief Networks to assess management scenarios for aquaculture in a complex tropical lake system in Indonesia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 A Bayesian Belief Network, validated using past observational data, is applied to conceptualize the ecological response of Lake Maninjau, a tropical lake ecosystem in Indonesia, to tilapia cage farms operating on the lake and to quantify its impacts to ...

Morphometry and mixing regime of a tropical lake: Lake Nova (Southeastern Brazil) [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2016 Lake Nova (15.5 km2) is the second largest lake in the Lower Doce River Valley (Southeastern Brazil). A better understanding of ecosystem structure and functioning requires knowledge about lake morphometry, given that lake basin form influences water ...

Correlates of zooplankton beta diversity in tropical lake systems. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2014 The changes in species composition between habitat patches (beta diversity) are likely related to a number of factors, including environmental heterogeneity, connectivity, disturbance and productivity. Here, we used data from aquatic environments in five

Invasive floating macrophytes reduce greenhouse gas emissions from a small tropical lake. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2016 Floating macrophytes, including water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes), are dominant invasive organisms in tropical aquatic systems and they may play an important role in modifying the gas exchange between water and the atmosphere.

Benthic macroinvertebrates of a tropical lake: Lake Caçó, MA, Brazil [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2010 Benthic communities are highly relevant in the study of aquatic ecosystems, both for their role in the functioning of the ecosystem and also as markers or indicators of paleo-conditions.

Deposition, burial and sequestration of carbon in an oligotrophic, tropical lake
Journal of Limnology, 2014 The amount of biogenic carbon that may be deposited, buried and eventually preserved (sequestered) in the sediments of a tropical, oligotrophic lake, was evaluated based on i) the temporal variation of the particulate organic carbon (POC) concentration ...

Tropical forests as drivers of lake carbon burial
Nature Communications, 2022 A significant proportion of carbon (C) captured by terrestrial primary production is buried in lacustrine ecosystems, which have been substantially affected by anthropogenic activities globally. However, there is a scarcity of sedimentary organic carbon (
