Amazonian floodplain forests are characterized by an annual flood pulse with changes of
the water table that exceed 10 meters. Seedlings and adult trees are waterlogged or …

To study the impact of the annual long-term flooding (flood-pulse) on seasonal tree
development in Amazonian floodplains, the phenology and growth in stem diameter of …

The forest species in Central Amazonia are able to overcome the extreme stress of flooding
and drought in the floodplains. We investigated the survival strategies of three tree species …

Central Amazonian floodplain forests are an unique and endangered ecosystem. The
forests grow in areas that are annually flooded by large rivers during mean periods of up to 8 …

Plants are subjected to extended periods of waterlogging and submersion in the floodplains
of Central Amazonia. Several adaptations and growth strategies allow them to survive. In …

Most phenological studies to date have taken place in upland forest above the maximum
flood level of nearby streams and rivers. In this paper, we examine the phenological patterns …

Várzeas are species-rich forest communities of the Central Amazon floodplains, inhabited by
highly adapted tree species that can withstand long flooding periods. The leaf shedding …

In the floodplain of the Amazon river near Manaus, 388 herbaceous plant species, excepting
epiphytes, were collected belonging to 64 families and 182 genera. 330 species are …

Plants in central Amazonian floodplains are subjected to waterlogging or complete
submersion for 50–270 days every year. Most trees have growth reductions, photosynthetic …

In Amazonian floodplains, plants are subjected to prolonged periodical flooding with a water
column of up to 10 m. Seedlings are submerged, except if they establish in the upper parts of …
