Soil and vegetation carbon stocks in Brazilian Western Amazonia: relationships and ecological implications for natural landscapes.
The relationships between soils attributes, soil carbon stocks and vegetation carbon stocks are poorly know in Amazonia, even at regional scale. In this paper, we used the large and reliable soil database from Western Amazonia obtained from the RADAMBRASIL project and recent estimates of vegetation biomass to investigate some environmental relationships, quantifying C stocks of intact ecosystem...
متن کاملPodzolisation and exportation of organic matter in black waters of the Rio Negro (upper Amazon basin, Brazil)
In the Rio Negro basin, podzols develop at the expense of clay-depleted laterites through localised and spectacular weathering fronts. This natural process leads to the remobilization of previously accumulated organic matter (OM) and elements (Al, Fe, Si). OM is thus redistributed within soil profiles and exported towards rivers, giving them their typical black coloration. In soils, this redist...
متن کاملWide but not impermeable: Testing the riverine barrier hypothesis for an Amazonian plant species.
Wallace's riverine barrier hypothesis postulates that large rivers, such as the Amazon and its tributaries, reduce or prevent gene flow between populations on opposite banks, leading to allopatry and areas of species endemism occupying interfluvial regions. Several studies have shown that two major tributaries, Rio Branco and Rio Negro, are important barriers to gene flow for birds, amphibians ...
متن کاملSeasonal Behavior of Mercury Species in Waters and Sediments from the Negro River Basin, Amazon, Brazil
Espécies de mercúrio total (Hg T ), reativo (Hg R ) e orgânico (Hg ORG ) foram quantificadas em amostras de água não filtradas da Bacia do Rio Negro, Amazonia (de Janeiro/2002 a Janeiro/ 2004) em ambos corpos aquáticos de águas brancas e pretas. As águas pretas apresentaram as maiores concentrações de mercúrio total, orgânico e reativo (29,1; 1,63 e 3,9 ng L, respectivamente), sendo que as água...
متن کاملIs the Negro River Basin (Amazon) impacted by naturally occurring mercury?
In order to investigate the major sources and cycling of mercury in the Negro River Basin (Amazon), total metal measurements were carried out in soils, in river and lake waters, in the atmosphere, and in bulk precipitation during the period 1995 throughout 1998. Median values of 1.3 ng m(-3) in the atmosphere, 172 microg kg(-1) in soils, 4.6-7.5 ng l(-1) in three different lakes, 4.5 ng l(-1) i...
