Periphytic algae dynamics in lentic ecosystems in the Brazilian semiarid

Abstract The hydrological periods drive the structure and organization of aquatic communities in semiarid regions. We hypothesize that a decrease of the precipitation during the dry period will favor the development of the periphytic algal community, leading to higher richness and density in this pe...
