This study addresses the quantification of the Amazon River sediment budget which has
been assessed by looking at data from a suspended sediment discharge monitoring network …

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 …

Clay minerals are important in evaluating the maturity of suspended sediments, weathering
intensity and source area. However, there are processes that can change the mineral …

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 …

A Bacia Amazônica se estende por mais de 6 106 km2, e aporta ao Oceano Atlântico um
volume d'água da ordem de 6.600 109 m3. ano-1. Cerca de 50% da bacia corresponde aos …

Floodplains are important components of the biogeochemistry, ecology, and hydrology of
the lowland Amazon Basin. Amazon floodplains contain thousands of lakes and associated …

Résumé The Amazon River sediment discharge has been estimated at between 600 and
1200 Mt/year, of which more than 50% comes from the Solimões River. Because of the …

Large rivers have been previously shown to be vertically heterogeneous in terms of
suspended particulate matter (SPM) concentration, as a result of sorting of suspended …

Accurately measuring sediment flux in large rivers remains a challenge due to the spatial
and temporal cross‐sectional variability of suspended sediment concentrations in …

We discuss the claim that the Amazon River has been subjected to a noticeable increase in
suspended sediment transport (SST) in response to both climate and land-use changes. To …
