“…In comparing two regional approaches for channel hydrodynamic modeling, including or omitting floodplain storage, these authors found a difference in travel time of approximately 1 month at the scale of the Solimões and Amazon basin. When flood waters travel across the floodplain, a significant part of the main channel sediment load is trapped [6][7][8]. Floodplains also significantly alter the fate of carbon and nutrients in the basin [9,10].…”

“…However, according to our results, the lignin phenols increased their concentration in the RW and the FW seasons. The hydrodynamics of floodplain lakes and their connections to the local drainage flooded forests and the main stem (Bourgoin et al, 2007;Bonnet et al, 2008), and the analysis of biomarkers applied in this study, suggest that in the RW and FW seasons, these organic molecules are mainly derived from the drainage of local wetlands and lowland "terra firme" soils. This is more evident for the upstream lakes surrounded by larger flooded forests than for the downstream lakes surrounded mainly by grass vegetation and shrubs.…”

“…1a, Table 1). The lakes are located along the Solimões-Amazon River shoreline in a biogeographic gradient of upstream flooded forests to downstream flooded woodlands and open water lakes (Bourgoin et al, 2007;Abril et al, 2014). Cabaliana is a round-shaped lake surrounded by flooded forests and two sub-regions (Fig.…”

“…The residence time of the riverine water within the floodplain is 5 months ± 0.8 month, while the residence time of water from all sources is 3 ± 0.2 months (Bonnet et al 2008). The lowest and highest absolute water levels recorded at the Curuaí gauging station during the 1982-2003 period were 3.03 m and 9.61 m, respectively, giving a maximum variation of 6.58 m (Bourgoin et al 2007).…”
