It provides an overview of the white sand ecosystems within the Amazon basin, and focuses on the forest and herbaceous (meadows) vegetation growing on the dystrophic sandy soils of the upper Negro and Orinoco river basins. \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eSeveral chapters describe physiographic aspects of the study area using integrated remote sensing and in situ sampling. By doing so they attain a comprehensive description of the origin and evolution of soils and landscapes, an advanced classification of soils, and a mapping of the geographic distribution of psammophilous vegetation. \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis volume also provides a phytosociological classification of extensive forested areas, and a detailed description of the structure and diversity of little-known herbaceous formations.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eIt targets professionals in the fields of ecology, ecophysiology, geomorphology, soils, vegetation, and the environmental sciences.
