Catastrophic shifts in the aquatic primary production revealed by a small low-flow section of tropical downstream after dredging

Abstract Dredging is a catastrophic disturbance that directly affects key biological processes in aquatic ecosystems, especially in those small and shallow. In the tropics, metabolic responses could still be enhanced by the high temperatures and solar incidence. Here, we assessed changes in the aqua...
