Impact of a high rainfall event on the water level, current velocity, and total suspended solids in tidal flats environments of the estuarine Cruces River wetland, south-central Chile
ABSTRACT The effects of a sudden rainfall (40 mm d−1) event on the surface waters covering muddy tidal flats were studied during April 2016 at the estuarine Cruces River wetland in south-central Chile (∼40°S). The study area included flooded vestigial tree trunks, which is eviden...
