## Abstract The upstream‐downstream sediment budget along the Napo River (100 520 km^2^, 6300 m^3^ s^−1^) was studied in the Andean foothills of Ecuador, at the west of the Amazon basin. A comparative study was made during four hydrological cycles (2001–2005) for three hydrological stations located

## Abstract The distribution of trace metals (V, Cr, Mn, Co, Cu, Zn, As, Rb, Sr, Mo, Cd, Sb, Cs, Ba, U) was investigated in surface waters and associated particulates in the Amazon mainstream (Solimões and Amazon rivers). Dissolved V, Cu, As, Sr, Ba, U correlate with major ions and appear to be pre

## Abstract In 1997, a study was initiated by IRD, Bolivia to analyse the dynamics of floods in the Bolivian Amazon, which commonly affect an area of 100 000 to 150 000 km^2^ for about 4 months of the year. This region is characterized by vast isolated areas with difficult access and is continuousl

## Abstract An assessment of the effectiveness of soil conservation practices is very important for watershed management, but the measurement over a small area does not necessarily represent the truth over a large area. Monitoring of soil erosion and analysis of sediment delivery were carried out i

The contributions of sediment from different geomorpholigical units within a small basin in the Loess Plateau have been determined using caesium-137 as a tracer. The mean caesium-137 content of sediment originating from the hill area, where sheet and rill erosion are predominant, was 3.37Bq kg-I, wh
