Secondary forest dynamics in the Amazon floodplain in Peru

Forest Ecology and Management, 2001
Abstract Studies in secondary forest in Latin America have largely been confined to terra firme lands. This paper reports on a study of dynamics of secondary forest and its interactions with land use for agriculture and utilization of primary forest in the floodplains of the Ucayali and Amazon rivers in Peru.

Physiology of Trees in the Floodplains of the Amazon.

2000
In Central Amazonian floodplains (várzea), trees are subjected to the ‚flood pulse‘, periodic predictable flooding which lasts up to seven months. Linked to the flooding periodicity, the trees show seasonal variations of phenology and physiological activities, as e.g. photosynthetic CO2-assimilation.

Tree and forest management in the floodplains of the Peruvian Amazon

Forest Ecology and Management, 2001
This paper discusses different tree and forest management strategies in Yanallpa, a ribereno village located within the Ucayali floodplain, Peru. In this village, studies on tree and forest management were conducted through surveys, participative observation and unstructured interviews with farmers.

Responses of ungulates to seasonal inundations in the Amazon floodplain

Journal of Tropical Ecology, 1990
ABSTRACT Terrestrial ungulates use different strategies to cope with widespread annual flooding of the Amazon basin. Red brocket deer ( Mazama americana ) and collared peccary ( Tayassu tajacu ) retreat to floodplain islands and shift ...
