Reservoirs provide valuable services to human beings, especially in arid, semi-arid, and Mediterranean regions affected by water scarcity. The present effort aims to study the environmental descriptors of variation and the main factors influencing phytoplankton composition, structure, and diversity in five reservoirs in Santiago Island, Cape Verde, a region affected by water availability. Five campaigns took place from 2016 to 2020 to sample phytoplankton and measure environmental variables according to standard analytical methodologies. Environmental results (17 water physicochemical variables, air temperature, and precipitation) revealed that reservoirs differ in the geological influence variables. The high levels of P and N in water seem to be related to Land Use/Land Cover and are responsible for water-quality degradation. Cyanobacteria dominated the phytoplankton community and posed high risk levels, especially considering that the identified taxa are potential producers of different toxins. Taxa responsible for this dominance were not the same in all reservoirs, emphasizing the dominant role of local habitat factors on community composition and diversity. Overall, the results reveal the importance of defining integrated management plans/strategies for the set of five studied reservoirs, since the processes influencing variation in the phytoplankton community are temporal-scale dependent, with similar biogeographic patterns.
