The introduction of ECS as a new variable to CVM is<br>significant as a unique and innovative variable provided by multivariate<br>analysis indicated to be promising, what recommends such procedures to<br>other studies.</span></p>}, number={42}, journal={Revista Brasileira de Ciências Ambientais (RBCIAMB)}, author={Simioni, Flavio José and Mombach, Gabriel Nathan Nicola and Donadel, Carolina and Alvarenga, Rodrigo Augusto Freitas de}, year={2016}, month={Dec.}, pages={121–132} }
