Rivers are dynamic components of the terrestrial carbon cycle and provide important
functions in ecosystem processes. Although rivers act as conveyers of carbon to the oceans …

Climate change and its effects on the hydrologic regime of the Amazon basin can impact
biogeochemical processes, transportation, flood vulnerability, fisheries and hydropower …

River systems connect the terrestrial biosphere, the atmosphere and the ocean in the global
carbon cycle. A recent estimate suggests that up to 3 petagrams of carbon per year could be …

The aim of this paper is to present a new database on the chemical composition of
suspended matter in World Rivers, together with the associated elemental fluxes. There is a …

Tropical wetlands are not included in Earth system models, despite being an important
source of methane (CH4) and contributing a large fraction of carbon dioxide (CO2) …

Patterns of surface sediment concentration distribution in rivers are significant for
understanding fluvial morphodynamics and environmental characteristics of the rivers and …

The floodplains of the Amazon basin influence the hydrology and fluxes of suspended solids
and solutes on multiple scales. Our study focused on the floodplain of Lago Grande de …

Sediment transfer from land to ocean begins in coastal settings and, for large rivers such as
the Amazon, has dramatic impacts over thousands of kilometers covering diverse …

Floodplain lakes may play an important role in the cycling of organic matter at the landscape
scale. For those lakes on the middle and lower reaches of the Y angtze (MLY) floodplain …

The fluvial transport and storage of sediments within channel–floodplain systems can act as
important sinks of sediments. In this study, we document the role of an Amazonian floodplain …
