Floodplain Hydrology in an Amazon Floodplain Lake (Lago Grande De Curuaí) [PDF]
Journal of Hydrology, 2008 Summary The floodplains of the Amazon basin influence the hydrology and fluxes of suspended solids and solutes on multiple scales. Our study focused on the floodplain of Lago Grande de Curuao´ (Obidos, Brazil), a 4000 km 2 segment of floodplain and local upland catchment representative of the lower Amazon.

A contribution to understanding the turbidity behaviour in an Amazon floodplain [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2010 Observations of turbidity provide quantitative information about water quality. However, the number of available in situ measurements for water quality determination is usually limited in time and space.

Spatial heterogeneity and hydrological fluctuations drive bacterioplankton community composition in an Amazon floodplain system. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 Amazonian floodplains form complex hydrological networks that play relevant roles in global biogeochemical cycles, and bacterial degradation of the organic matter in these systems is key for regional carbon budget.

Drivers and impacts of sediment deposition in Amazonian floodplains [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe Amazon River carries enormous amounts of sediment from the Andes mountains, much of which is deposited in its floodplains. However, accurate quantification of the sediment sink at fine spatiotemporal scales is still challenging.

Tree ring isotopes reveal an intensification of the hydrological cycle in the Amazon [PDF]
Communications Earth & EnvironmentOver recent decades the Amazon region has been exposed to large-scale land-use changes and global warming. How these changes affect Amazonia’s hydrological cycle remains unclear as meteorological data are scarce.

Snakebite envenomation and community responses in an Amazonian floodplain: Public health and ethnobiological perspectives. [PDF]
PLOS Global Public HealthSnakebite envenomation is a serious tropical public health problem, with a high incidence in the Amazon region. In floodplain areas, the seasonal flood pulse intensifies interactions between humans and snakes, making the riverine populations of the Lower

Local politics of floodplain tenure in the Amazon
International Journal of the Commons, 2016 Research on community-based management system has been often grounded on monolithic institutional, social and ecological perspective with focus on the commoners as the only local actor, collective territorial rights as the only local tenure system, and ...

Environmental heterogeneity drives the distribution of copepods (Crustacea: Copepoda) in the Amazon, Araguaia, Pantanal, and Upper Paraná floodplains [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2022 Environmental heterogeneity influences the physiology and behavior of organisms, leading to alterations in populations, communities, and ecosystems. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of the spatial and temporal limnological heterogeneity on ...
