Water quality changes in floodplain lakes due to the Amazon River flood pulse: Lago Grande de Curuaí (Pará).
Assurance of water quality for human consumption is essential for public health policies. In the Amazon floodplain, the seasonal water level variation causes periodic flooding of marginal areas that are usually used for settlements, agriculture and livestock. Therefore, the exchange of materials between the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem affects the proportion of suspended and dissolved comp...
متن کاملEternal vigilance on an Amazon floodplain
Deep and puzzling evolutionary questions are still being raised by the unfashionable work of systematic biologists. James S. Albert describes some such work and argues why we need much more of it in the face of unprecedented loss of species through human activity.
متن کاملSimultaneous abrupt shifts in hydrology and fish assemblage structure in a floodplain lake in the central Amazon
Combined effects of climate change and deforestation have altered precipitation patterns in the Amazon. This has led to changes in the frequency of extreme events of flood and drought in recent decades and in the magnitude of the annual flood pulse, a phenomenon that influences virtually all aspects of river-floodplain ecosystem dynamics. Analysis of long-term data revealed abrupt and synchrono...
متن کاملAnuran occupancy dynamics and an assessment of floodplain wetland distribution and hydrology in a Missouri River floodplain
I studied amphibians and their associated wetlands in the Missouri River floodplain in Iowa from 2010-2013. I had the opportunity to study the effect of a catastrophic flood on an anuran community in the Missouri River floodplain. Three species (plains leopard frog, Woodhouse’s toad, and Blanchard’s cricket frog) had only minor changes in adult male occupancy rate in the two years after the flo...
متن کاملRepeat-pass multi-temporal interferometric SAR coherence variations with Amazon floodplain and lake habitats
We have analysed interferometric coherence variations in Japanese Earth Resources Satellite (JERS-1) L-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data at three central Amazon sites: Lake Balbina, Cabaliana and Solimões-Purús. Because radar pulse interactions with inundated vegetation typically follow a double-bounce travel path that returns energy to the antenna, coherence will vary with vegetation ty...
