Abstract

The Amazon region encompasses a wide range of vegetation formations due to variations in its conditions, from the Andean foothills to the mouth of the Amazon River. Among these are floodplain forests along the vast river network, which, despite their extent, remain poorly studied. Amazonian floodplain (varzea) forests sustain high biomass and socioecological value, yet their ecological functioning and response to management remain unclear, particularly for native acai (Euterpe oleracea Mart.), a key species in regional agroextractive economies.
