Abstract:	Amazonian floodplain forests have remarkable variation in tree diversity and structure related to flood duration. We assessed how floodplain forests respond to the continuum flooding gradient and found that Fisher's α values vary up to seven times across the landscape. Resumo: Florestas de várzea da Amazônia apresenta uma variação expressiva na diversidade de árvores e na estrutura florestal relacionada com a duração da inundação. Nós medimos como as florestas de várzea do Purus respondem a variação continua e gradual na inundação e encontramos que apenas atributos de diversidade responderam significativamente, sendo que os valores de Fisher's α variaram até sete vezes ao longo da paisagem. © 2015 The Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation.
