Different sources and processes contribute topCO2and CO2exchange with the atmosphere in the rivers and floodplains of the Amazon basin. We measured or estimatedpCO2, CO2fluxes with the atmosphere, planktonic community respiration (PCR), and environmental and landscape variables along the Negro and Amazon-Solimões rivers during different periods of the fluvial hydrological cycle. Values ofpCO2ranged from 307 to 7527 μatm, while CO2fluxes ranged from − 9.3 to 1128 mmol m−2d−1in the Amazon-Solimões basin. In the Negro basin,pCO2values ranged from 648 to 6526 μatm, and CO2fluxes from 35 to 1025 mmol m−2d−1. In a general linear model including data from Negro and Amazon-Solimões basins, seasonal and spatial variation in flooded vegetated habitat area, dissolved oxygen, depth and water temperature explained 85% of surfacepCO2variation. Levels ofpCO2varied with inundation extent, with higherpCO2values occurring in periods with greater water depth and inundation area, and lower dissolved oxygen concentrations and water temperatures. In a separate analysis for the Amazon-Solimões river and floodplains, ecosystem type (lotic or lentic), hydrological period, water temperature, dissolved oxygen, depth and dissolved phosphorus explained 83% ofpCO2variation. Our results demonstrate the influence of alluvial floodplains and seasonal variations in their limnological characteristics on thepCO2levels in river channels of the lowland Amazon.
