Amazonian floodplain forests have remarkable variation in tree diversity and structure related to flood duration. We assessed how floodplain forests respond to the continuum flooding gradient and found that Fisher's values ...

In southern Brazil floods are of low magnitude and occur with high frequency throughout the year. The objective of this work was to evaluate the responses to flooding in four native tree species. The species Eugenia uniflora ...

The EPIC FORCE project aimed to develop science-based policy recommendations for integrated forest and water resources management, relevant to extreme events for Costa Rica, Ecuador, Chile and Argentina. Data analysis and ...

Although the morphological and physiological responses of willows to flooding have already been characterized, less is known about their responses during the post-flooding period. After the end of the stress episode, plants ...

Sedimentation processes are important to the dynamics of lowland fluvial systems and depend on the characteristics of floods and of riparian ecosystems. The few known studies for the Paraná River system analysed only summer ...

In flooded habitats, inundations affect important forest regeneration processes, such as seed dispersal and germination. The main seed dispersal mechanism used by species in Austral South American temperate swamp and ...

Sedimentation processes are important to the dynamics of lowland fluvial systems and depend on the characteristics of floods and of riparian ecosystems. The few known studies for the Paraná River system analyzed only summer ...

Flood peak data for focus catchments in Costa Rica, Ecuador, Chile and Argentina are analyzed to test the hypothesis that, as the size of the hydrological event increases, the effect of forest cover on the peak discharge ...
