Treats to the integrity of biodiverse Amazon floodplain habitats from deforestation, dams and climate change are increasingly severe but to date, Amazon biodiversity scenarios have not considered these critical environments. Building on decades of floodplain-focused research in the Amazon by consortium members, we will improve characterization of Amazonian whitewater floodplain habitats a…
An adequate representation of drainage network is crucial to provide new insights into watershed research. As a valuable record of environmental interaction throughout the year, the drainage network can provide historical information on relief. In the Amazon, there is a lack of cartographic information for almost 1.8 million km2. The use of digital elevation models (DEM) from SRTM in area…
The Amazon floodplain is characterized by extreme natural fluctuation in the water level of its rivers with an alternation between excess and lack of water known as "flood pulse", sensu Junk (1989). The flood pulse is the principal ecological driving force acting in the floodplain ecosystem; it is largely responsible for the behavior of biogeochemical cycles and demands specific adaptatio…
This research project intends to cover a wide range of topics related to the impacts of the sugarcane ethanol production and consumption. It initially aims to map the sugarcane cultivated areas in South Central Brazil, so as to support the generation of scenarios related to plausible spatial patterns for the sugarcane crops expansion in the short- and medium-terms. These scenarios will dr…

Amazonian floodplains have great importance, both ecological and socioeconomic. These regions have been suffering major threats to their integrity, which range from the construction of hydroelectric dams to the impact of extreme events associated with climate change. Such threats not only affect the environment, and the biodiversity associated with it, but also the food security and finan…
The hydrological phases are linked to the spatial and temporal changes influencing the ecological processes and the biodiversity of the floodplain systems. In the flood phase, the waters invade the floodplain oxygenating, bringing nutrients and giving rise to a terrestrial/aquatic transition area responsible for the environmental conditions favorable to biodiversity. In general, there are…
