Effects of the flooding gradient on tree community diversity in varzea forests of the purus river, central Amazon, Brazil
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2015-03-01)
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 ...
Seasonal-dependence in the responses of biological communities to flood pulses in warm temperate floodplain lakes: implications for the “alternative stable states” model
(Springer, 2014-10)
In floodplains located in temperate regions, seasonal variations in temperature affect biological communities and these effects may overlap with those of the flood regime. In this study we explored if and how timing (with ...
Massive tree mortality from flood pulse disturbances in Amazonian floodplain forests: The collateral effects of hydropower production
(2019-04-01)
Large dams built for hydroelectric power generation alter the hydrology of rivers, attenuating the flood pulse downstream of the dam and impacting riparian and floodplain ecosystems. The present work mapped black-water ...
Response of fish assemblage structure to changing flood and flow pulses in a large subtropical river
(Csiro Publishing, 2016-04)
Fish assemblages recorded from August 2010 to July 2013 in two lotic and lentic environments of the Middle Paranć River floodplain were studied in the light of flood and flow pulse variations. Three flood pulses occurred ...
Analysis of flood pulse dynamics in the lower basin of the San Pedro River (northwestern Mexico) using remote sensing
(Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, 2017)
Lacustrine records of Holocene flood pulse dynamics in the Upper Paraguay River watershed (Pantanal wetlands, Brazil)
(Academic Press Inc. Elsevier B.V., 2012-09-01)
The Pantanal is the world's largest tropical wetland and a biodiversity hotspot, yet its response to Quaternary environmental change is unclear. To address this problem, sediment cores from shallow lakes connected to the ...
