- Abstract
Focuses on saline and freshwater lakes of the Pantanal wetland in Brazil. Results of recent studies indicating that saline water could come from a contemporary concentration process; How this concentration process could also be responsible for the large chemical variability of the waters observed in the area; Impact of algal blooms on potassium, phosphate, magnesium, and sulfate in saline lakes; Factors responsible for the geochemical variability in this environment; Data suggesting the saline lakes of Nhecolândia have to be managed as landscape units in equilibrium with the present water flows and not inherited from a past arid phase.
