The Amazon, recently comprehensively reviewed in Sioli (1984a), is the largest river in the world by virtue of equatorial rainfall, supplemented by snowmelt from the Andes, and its enormous bowl-shaped catchment flanked by mountains to the west. Its length is variously estimated as 5300 km (Sioli 1964) and 5500 km (Marlier 1973), and its catchment as 6.

Introduction Since the arrival of human beings about 12 000 years ago, wetlands have been favorite colonization areas because of their rich food resources. On Marajó Island at the mouth of the Amazon River and in its lower course, Amerindians built large chiefdoms on elevated places that provided protection against flooding (Roosevelt 1999).

Biogeochemistry of carbon in the Amazon River
Limnology and Oceanography, 1990Depth‐integrated, discharge‐weighted water samples were collected over 1,800 km of the Amazon River on eight cruises at different stages of the hydrograph, 1982–1984. Fine (FPOC, <63 µm) and coarse (CPOC, >63 µm) particulate organic carbon as weight percentage of suspended sediment varied between 0.9–1.5% for FPOC and 0.5–3.4% for CPOC ...

Water chemistry of the Amazon River
Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 1972Abstract On the basis of analytical results of seasonal-cycle sampling, the water chemistry data of the Amazon River are presented. Based on these results, a new calculation of 62 ppm for the mean dissolved salts concentration for South American rivers is 11 per cent lower than previous calculations, and a new calculation of 117 ppm for the mean ...
