Seasonal dynamics of carbon and nutrients from two contrasting tropical floodplain systems in the Zambezi River basin

Floodplains are important biogeochemical reactors during fluvial transport of carbon and nutrient species towards the oceans. In the tropics and subtropics, pronounced rainfall seasonality results in highly dynamic floodplain biogeochemistry. The massive construction of dams, however, has significan...
