Description for The Central Amazon Floodplain. Ecology of a Pulsing System.
Hardback. Floodplains are highly interesting and complex ecosystems which oscillate between a terrestrial and an aquatic phase. Accordingly, they are inhabited by terrestrial or aquatic animals and plants. The book examines the ecology of one of the largest and most fascinating tropical floodplains: the Amazon River floodplain. Editor(s): Junk, W.J. Series: Ecological Studies. Num Pages: 551 pages, 72 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: 1KLS; RBKF; RGB; RNC.

Floodplains are ecosystems which are driven by periodic inundation and oscillation between terrestrial and aquatic phases. An understanding of such pulsing systems is only possible by studying both phases and linking the results into an integrated overview.
This book presents the results of a 15-year study of the structure and function of one of the largest tropical floodplains, the Amazon River floodplain. It covers qualitative aspects, e.g., adaptations of aquatic and terrestrial organisms to the flood pulse as well as quantitative aspects, e.g., studies of biomass, primary production, decomposition, and nutrient cycles. The authors interpret their findings and the most ... Read more
