Hg DEPOSITION RESULTS IN AMAZONIAN FLOODPLAINS ~ 0.2 t Hg/y (10% daily P-Hg flux) ~76 g P-Hg km -2 y -1 ~ 4.5 t Hg/y (14% annual T-Hg flux) ~ 90 g P-Hg km -2 y -1

Floodplain lake levels are very close (tens of centimeters) to river water levels The output of water from the floodplain lakes to the main channel begins at the flood peak Water and sediment outflow max. are observed during the low water stage Main sedimentation occurs in the western part of the varzea, generating a widening land strip Sediment storage and Hg associated with fine particles appears to be more important in the upstream foreland basins than along the mid-Amazon floodplains Conclusions 3 rd LBA Scientific Meeting
