The book "Soil-Landscape-Vegetation Relationships in Sandy Soils of Very Low Fertility Subject to Seasonal Flooding" presents a comprehensive multidisciplinary approach to understanding the complex interactions between soil, landscape, and vegetation in sandy ecosystems. It specifically focuses on the ecophysiology of plant communities thriving on dystrophic sandy soils in the upper Negro and Orinoco river basins within the Amazon basin. The book offers a comprehensive overview of the white sand ecosystems found within the Amazon basin, with a particular emphasis on the forest and herbaceous vegetation growing on these sandy soils. Through the use of integrated remote sensing and in situ sampling, several chapters provide a detailed description of the physiographic aspects of the study area, including the origin and evolution of soils and landscapes, advanced soil classification, and mapping of the geographic distribution of psammophilous vegetation. Additionally, the book offers a phytosociological classification of extensive forested areas and a detailed description of the structure and diversity of little-known herbaceous formations. The book is targeted at professionals in the fields of ecology, ecophysiology, geomorphology, soils, vegetation, and environmental sciences, and the information it provides can be of significant use to researchers, protected area planners, and environmental policy makers.
