This resulted in a loweringof the water level of the Negro River by at least 40 m at its mouth (see below). 5-kHz profiling in the Negro River valley have shown that, in the Holocene, a 10-m-thick sediment layer was deposited in large parts of the valley during high sea-level stages (Irion et al. 1999). The volume of this Holocene deposit is estimated to be one third of the total sediment mass deposited during the existence of the deeply incised trough of the Negro River valley. , not older than a few glacial cycles.
The development of a methodology to determine individual growth rates and wood production by tree-ring analysis is a pre-requisite for the establishment of growth models of different tree species and the basis of management concepts (Worbes 1984, 1989; Worbes and Junk 1989). It will allow the sustainable use of floodplain forests by protecting their species diversity along with the other benefits of these ecosystems (Worbes and Fichtler 2010). J. F. 10 Discussion and Conclusions Inventories indicate that Amazonian floodplain forests are the most diverse wetland forests worldwide, containing more than 1,000 tree species (Wittmann et al.
Additionally, in many areas of the paleo-várzea, Ria lakes are present. Those várzeas most probably have formed earlier than the LGM, during a sea-level higher than the present one. Sediment cores taken from the paleo-várzea show significant alteration in mineral composition due to weathering processes at and near the surface; however, with increasing depth (several meters), the mineral composition is the same as that of nearby recent river deposits. The alterations consist of increased amounts of kaolinite, gibbsite, and iron oxides at and near the surfaces of the paleo-várzea (Irion 1984a), sometimes accompanied by a decrease in smectite.
