Floodplains are ecosystems which are driven by periodic inundation
and oscillation between terrestrial and aquatic phases. An
understanding of such pulsing systems is only possible by studying
both phases and linking the results into an integrated
overview.
This book presents the results of a 15-year study of the structure
and function of one of the largest tropical floodplains, the Amazon
River floodplain. It covers qualitative aspects, e.g., adaptations
of aquatic and terrestrial organisms to the flood pulse as well as
quantitative aspects, e.g., studies of biomass, primary production,
decomposition, and nutrient cycles. The authors interpret their
findings and the most important data from other studies under an
integrating scientific concept, the Flood Pulse Concept.
