The biota of floodplains has high annual growth and mortality rates, which is advantageous for the rapid colonization of large areas of the floodplain. This allows them to take advantage of shifting floodplain geometry. [19] For example, floodplain [20] trees are fast-growing and tolerant of root disturbance. Opportunists (such as birds) are ...

The flood pulse also increases yields by increasing the surface area of water and showers the land with river biota. Flood plain systems also serve as migration routes, hibernation spots, and spawning locations for many species. [5] For the red-bellied piranha, their two annual reproductive seasons are dependent on the flooding pulse.

Most species tend to grow in areas that are subjected to the river flood pulse, but not in areas that are influenced by the sea and tides. [11] This results in waterlogged or flooded conditions for up to seven months of the year, and consequently plant species numbers in the várzea are lower than the non-flooded terra firme forests. [1]
