Junk ; Peter B. Bayley ; Richard E. Sparks 1aCanadábNational Research Council of Canadac1989 aPublication speciale canadienne des sciences halieutiques et aquatiques aThe principal driving force responsible for the existence, productivity, and interactions of the major biota in river-floodplain systems is the flood pulse. A spectrum of geomorphological and hydrological conditions produces flood pulses, which range from unpredictable to predictable and from short to long duration. The flood pulse is a "batch" process and is distinct from concepts that emphasize the continuous processes in flowing water environments, such as the river continuum concept. Floodplains are distinct because they do not depend on upstream processing inefficiencies of organic matter, although their nutrient pool is influenced by periodic lateral exchange of water and sediments with the main channel 4aIchthyology 4aIctiología 4aInundaciones 4aFlood Plains 4aFlooding 4aHidrology 4aFresh Water 4aEcology 4aRivers 4aCanada a(INICN)39662234825 aAR-ReUNNbspacAR-ReUNNeaacr2
