Abstract
A limnological survey was conducted on a reservoir in northeast Brazil. The data indicate that seasonal varitions in plankton and macrophyte productivity are primarily functions respectively of light penetration and surface area rather than nutrient availability.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
