This is a study with temporal approach on the community of periphytic algae in the upper Paraná riverfloodplain, inserted in the Long-Term Ecological Research/CNPq, site 6. We sought to evaluate the community structure of periphytic algae, analyze the influence of abiotic factors on this structuring, and determine a model for the density of the phycoperiphyton community in 11 years of study. Samples were taken in two periods of the year (February/March and August/September) at PatosLake, lentic environment between 1999 and 2009, using as substrate the petiole of Eichhornia azurea Kunth. The highest density was found in February 2002, after a long dry period. The lowest density was observed in March 2005, period with the highest richness in the study (165... |
