Biogeochemistry of Amazon Floodplain Lakes and Associated Wetlands
2001Floodplains and associated lakes are important components of the biogeochemistry, ecology, and hydrology of the Amazon basin. Amazon floodplains contain thousands of lakes and associated wetlands linked to each other and to the many rivers of the immense basin. These floodplain lakes modify the passage of flood waves (Richey et al.

Hydrological control of system characteristics of floodplain lakes
Ecohydrology & Hydrobiology, 2006Abstract Water bodies within floodplains are strongly governed by their hydrological connectivity with the main river (Heiler et al. 1995). Connectivity is decisive for the general ecosystem characteristics and the balance between input and output of nutrients and organic carbon sources.

The evolution of an oxbow lake in the Mississippi alluvial floodplain
Journal of Soil and Water Conservation, 2008The history of sediment accumulation in an oxbow lake located on the Mississippi alluvial floodplain was reconstructed based on sedimentation rates determined using 14C activities from bulk sediment fractions and from 210Pb and 137Cs measurements. Higher rates of sediment accumulation consistent with frequent flooding when first abandoned 3,800 to 5 ...

Remote sensing of lakes and floodplains in the Amazon basin
Remote Sensing Reviews, 1994Abstract Remote sensing of the lakes and floodplains in the Amazon basin has provided quantitative information on open water, floating macrophytes and flooded forests, and regional inundation. Side‐looking airborne radar (X‐band) imagery permitted measurement of lake shapes and areas. Satellite altimeters permitted estimation of stage for large rivers.

The ecology of cyanobacteria in the temperate floodplain lake
2016Cvjetanje cijanobakterija je u današnje vrijeme prepoznato kao karakteristika slatkovodnih eutrofnih ekoloških sustava širom svijeta. U dinamičnim sustavima rijeka-poplavno područje, dinamika i intenzitet plavljenja može se okarakterizirati kao kontrolni čimbenik cvjetanja cijanobakterija jer su one posebno osjetljive na stres uzrokovan plavljenjem.

River-lake migration of fishes in the Dongting Lake area of the Yangtze floodplain
Journal of Applied Ichthyology, 2012Over the past few decades, fish resources have declined severely owing to the riverlake disconnection within the Yangtze River floodplain. Studies on fish migrations between rivers and floodplain waters are imperative for fish resources restoration and lake management.

Depth as an organizer of fish assemblages in floodplain lakes
Aquatic Sciences, 2010Depth reduction is a natural process in floodplain lakes, but in many basins has been accelerated by anthropogenic disturbances. A diverse set of 42 floodplain lakes in the Yazoo River Basin (Mississippi, USA) was examined to test the hypothesis of whether depth reduction was a key determinant of water quality and fish assemblage structure.
