Food webs and energy fluxes on a seasonal floodplain: The influence of flood size
(SpringerLink, 2007)
The world’s largest inland delta, located on the Okavango River in Botswana, faces major changes in the annual flooding size and duration due to climatic shifts and increased water use. We examined several parameters of a ...
