Abstract Wetlands (rivers, lakes, bogs, etc.), the biodiversity hotspots, provide habitats for
biology on Earth and play an important role in biodiversity protection around the world …

Terrestrial inputs into freshwater ecosystems are a classical field of environmental science.
Resource fluxes (subsidy) from aquatic to terrestrial systems have been less studied …

Estimates of extinction risk for Amazonian plant and animal species are rare and not often
incorporated into land-use policy and conservation planning. We overlay spatial distribution …

Abandoned pastureland provides a prime opportunity for forest recovery of these degraded
areas in the Amazon. Many factors impact forest regeneration, including time and intensity of …

Abstract Height Above the Nearest Drainage (HAND), a state-of-the-art topo-hydrological
index, has been increasingly used in geo-environmental studies. It describes the local …

About 90% of the Amazon's energy potential remains unexploited, with many large
hydroelectric dams yet to be built, so it is important to understand how terrestrial vertebrates …

Hydroelectric dams are among the main cause of anthropogenic impacts in tropical
environments. Damming interrupts the continuity of the river and produces the flooding of …

Phytolith reference collections of plants and surface soils are a critical part of studies that
use these microbotanical remains for archaeological and paleoecological reconstruction. In …

Large losses of tropical forests result from the flooding of terrestrial ecosystems by mega
hydroelectric dams. Because run-of-the-river dams operate based on smaller reservoirs with …

The modification of Amazonian rivers by the construction of megaprojects of hydroelectric
dams has widely increased over the last decade. Robust monitoring programs have been …
