Assessing ecosystem health of floodplain lakes using an Integrated Bioassessment Index
Ecological Indicators, 2023 Lakes within river-floodplain ecosystems are key biodiversity refuges majorly threatened by eutrophication and hydrologic river-lake fragmentation. However, an integrative index, specifically designed to comprehensively assess the health of floodplain ...

Role of Hydrology in Cyanobacterial Blooms in the Floodplain Lakes
Water (Switzerland), 2023 River floodplains are sites of extremely high environmental and ecological value due to high biodiversity. Floodplain lakes (FPLs) are essential parts of complex floodplain ecosystems’ biological and hydro-chemical processes. Clear seasonal cycles, determined by the regime of the parent river and closely linked to climatic conditions, are observed in ...

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.
