Influence of estuarine dynamics on macrobenthos spatial variability along the southeast continental shelf of Brazil

Influence of estuarine dynamics on macrobenthos spatial variability along the southeast continental shelf of Brazil

Along the southeast continental shelf of Brazil, the Paraíba do Sul River (PSR) plays a fundamental role in sediment and nutrient transport. This study focuses on the contribution of the PSR and its effect on the benthic macrofauna. Physical and chemical analyses of the sediment were conducted, and...
