Shaded area represents the terra firme plot where 94% of the 365 species listed were recorded. Fine lines indicate perennial forest streams. A number of smaller rain-fed streams flowed into this perennial creek, but dried out during the dry season. Sudden rises in the stream water- level caused temporary floods following heavy storms (> 100 mm per day), particularly in the wet season. This phenomenon

Shaded area represents the terra firme plot where 94% of the 365 species listed were recorded. Fine lines indicate perennial forest streams. A number of smaller rain-fed streams flowed into this perennial creek, but dried out during the dry season. Sudden rises in the stream water- level caused temporary floods following heavy storms (> 100 mm per day), particularly in the wet season. This phenomenon, locally known as repiquete, generated and maintained a sparser understorey, higher density of lianas, higher density of non-arborescent palms, overall lower density of trees, and an average lower canopy (Peres, unpubl. data). Habitat types Vegetation structure was quantified within two 1-ha floristic plots and twelve plots, and along km of transects within the study area. We also examined a topographic map of this area, defined by 5-m contour.
