The objective of this study is to develop a high resolution spatially distributed ET map (250 m × 250 m) for the entire Amazon basin—thus also from upstream countries—based on existing remote sensing models and validated against independent flux towers installed over different land ...

The Amazon region has the largest hydrographic basin in the world. The rivers act as roads, and boats serve as vehicles for transporting passengers and cargo to large urban centers, municipalities, riverside communities, villages, and settlements. The Amazon River transportation system faces critical...

Pesticide contamination remains a significant environmental concern globally, with important implications for aquatic ecosystems. Despite being one of the
and biogeochemical uxes in the Amazon River basin. According to Mertes (1997) oodplains encompass many boundaries since they are inherently transitional between terrestrial and river systems. Those boundaries relate to various degrees of biodiversity as a response to spatial variability in river water ...
