Nearly 15,000 shallow, saline, or freshwater lakes and ponds coexist in close proximity in the Nhecolândia, a 24,000 km² subregion of the Pantanal wetland in Brazil. This study aims to understand the origin of such diversity in surface water, which is a key aspect for the wetland services and biodiversity in the region. Both soil observations and water samples were collected at the region…
Although our knowledge on wetlands has recently increased, it is still partial in many aspects. The Pantanal wetland is considered as the world's largest continental wetland and consists of a mosaic of quite contrasted regions from a geomorphological, pedological and geochemical point of view. In a previous project, we focussed on the chemical variability of soils and waters at different …
Although our knowledge on wetlands has recently increased, it is still partial in many aspects. The identification as well as the demarcation of wetlands poses problems because of their heterogenities and diversities, resulting from their control by physical, chemical and biological processes. The Pantanal wetland is considered as the worlds largest continental wetland and consists of a m…
The aim of this 2-years study is to characterize the pedological framework and the hydrochemical functioning of a small depression representative of the Nhecolândia wetland. The study will be carried out in 4 steps: (1) The survey of the depression and its surrounding highland using electromagnetic induction methods. Georeferenced numerical data will be submitted to a geostatistical treat…
