“…Many climate models predict that significant changes to tropical water cycles will accompany global warming, with the potential to increase the frequency of floods and droughts. The Pantanal's frontier setting and paucity of infrastructure renders its growing population vulnerable to severe climate events (e.g., prolonged droughts) that could alter wetland hydrology and degrade ecosystem services (Ioris et al, 2014;Junk et al, 2014;Marengo et al, 2016). The results of our study illustrate that the chemistry of Salina da Ponta evolved dynamically in the late Holocene.…”

“…Only a sample of the macrophytes was collected to preparet the exsicates. The aquatic macrophytes were identified with assistance of a specific dichotomous key (Pott & Pott 2000, Flora do Brasil 20202019. The macrophytes collected in the hand net were weighed in the field to obtain their biomass (g -1 .m 2 ), then washed in the net to separate the macroinvertebrates.…”

“…Considered one of the largest floodplains in Latin America, the Pantanal complex, or simply the Pantanal is placed in the center of South America, in Upper Paraguay basin, occupying Brazilian territory and a small part of the Bolivian and Paraguayan territory (Silva et al 2009). Its area corresponds to about 140 thousand km 2 , with 65% of its territory in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul and 35% in Mato Grosso (Pott 2004, Marengo et al 2015. Pantanal is an area of great scenic beauty and a showcase for exuberant fauna and flora that are constantly regulated by the dynamics of the climate and by the flood pulses of the adjacent areas of its main rivers.…”
