Seasonality in environmental conditions drive variation in plankton communities in a shallow tropical lake
(Frontiers in water, 2022)
Factors influencing the spatio-temporal dynamics of plankton communities in small
tropical lakes are not well-understood. This study assessed plankton communities
in response to spatial (six sampling sites) and seasonal ...

Drivers of water quality in Afromontane-savanna rivers
(Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022)
Although several studies have investigated the relationships between water
quality in rivers and the types of land use within their catchments, many aspects
of these relationships remain unclear in Afromontane-savanna ...
