Abstract
During the annual 10‐m rise in water level, water from the Amazon River floods into bordering nutrient‐poor lakes, and river‐derived nitrate (12 µM) and phosphate (0.9 µM) are utilized during intense phytoplankton growth. The influence of the nutrient‐rich water appears to extend laterally in a 50‐km band, creating a ribbon of highly pro ductive lakes along its length that, in turn, may have a significant impact on Amazon water chemistry.
