The Middle Paraná River: Limnology of a Subtropical Wetland

Editat de Martin H. Iriondo, Juan César Paggi, María Julieta Parma
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 2 iul 2007
The Middle Paraná river is one of the largest in the world. Exceptionally rich in fauna and flora, it provides researchers with a glimpse into an ecosystem yet undisturbed by human civilization. This fascinating book covers all the key aspects of the Paraná’s fluvial limnology and ecology, arranged in discrete and easily navigable sections. First, the physical and chemical environment is explained, then the river’s plant life, followed by its invertebrate life, and finally the vertebrates that inhabit the river.

Descriere

1 2 2,3 MARTÍN H. IRIONDO , JUAN CÉSAR PAGGI , AND MARÍA JULIETA PARMA 2 The great Paraná basin (2,600,000 km) covers a large portion of the Neotropical Realm, extending from the Andes to the Atlantic coast and c- necting the central regions of South America along 2,200 km in a north–south direction. Most of the basin is under subtropical climates, which range from desertic in the west to humid in the east. The Middle Paraná is a broad, complex floodplain extending 600 km in the heart of the interior lowlands of the continent. This system of river channels, shallow lakes, islands, and wetlands remains unoccupied by man and basically unaltered. From a systemic point of view, this area can be considered to be the most important link and collector of the fluvial chain that conveys huge volumes of nutrients, sediments, and salts from the continent to the South Atlantic Ocean. The influence of the Paraná upon the Atlantic is very important. It has been 2 calculated that a sediment deposit 400 m thick and 1 million km in area ac- mulated in the platform and nearby oceanic bottom over the last 2 million years, with a similar amount of dissolved salts contributed by the river to the ocean. This book details the recent advances in the knowledge of the most important segment of the Parana River, organized according to the scientific structure of the National Institute of Limnology of Argentina (INALI-CONICET-UNL).

Recenzii

From the reviews:
"The authors have counted 216 different fish species inhabiting the different parts of the river, lakes, and floodplains in the river drainage. … Each chapter is followed by a literature index; a general subject index … . The data are relevant for all people dealing with the flora or fauna of this habitat type." (Solingen Haro Hieronimus, Bulletin of fish Biology, Vol. 9 (1/2), 2008)
"Here is an approachable text that is a fascinating read for both specialists in the field and general naturalists. This is an important and fascinating glimpse into one of the world’s most undisturbed ecosystems. … All the key aspects of the Middle Paraná’s fluvial limnology and ecology are fully explored. … This brilliant book covers all the key aspects of the Paraná’s fluvial limnology and ecology, arranged in discrete and easily navigable sections." (Pecescriollos, December, 2008)
