Abstract: | Soil samples were collected on the floodplains of the Amazon River and its principal Brazilian tributaries during dry, early rising water, and early falling water periods. The concentrations of basic cations and pH in these alluvial soils were always higher than those in the more common "terra firme" soils while the concentrations of aluminum were generally lower. Among the alluvial soils, those from the main channel floodplain were generally higher in basic cations and pH, and lower in aluminum than those from the tribuary floodplains. The concentrations of basic cations in soils along the main channel floodplain decreased downstream. No significant difference was found in the levels of basic cations, pH, or aluminum between sampling periods. © 1989 Kluwer Academic Publishers. |
