DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9718
Abstract: Abstract The seasonal flood pulse in Amazonia can be considered a primary driver of community structure in floodplain environments. Although this natural periodic disturbance is part of the landscape dynamics, the seasonal inundation presents a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10531-018-1520-3
Abstract: This study examines the occurrence of vascular epiphytic species in Central Amazonian black-water floodplain forests (igapó) and considers whether their horizontal and vertical distribution is influenced by the flood pulse, as is the case with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.geoderma.2021.115389
Abstract: Abstract We assessed key relationships of soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks to hydromorphic features, soil texture, C/N ratio, pH, and forest age in hardwood floodplain forests. Floodplain ecosystems play a significant role in the global… read more here.

Fragmentation of hardwood floodplain forests — how does it affect species composition?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Community Ecology"
DOI: 10.1556/168.2017.18.1.11
Abstract: The present study focuses on how spatial patch characteristics, such as patch area, shape and isolation, affect the natural species composition of hardwood floodplain forests. The natural species composition is defined according to species groups… read more here.
