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.
Riparian-zone disturbance falls into two main categories: hydrologic modifications that indirectly impact riparian communities through changes in stream morphology and hydrologic processes, and habitat alterations that result in direct modification of riparian communities through land clearing or disturbance.
Biotic interchange is the process by which species from one biota invade another biota, usually due to the disappearance of a previously impassable barrier. [1] These dispersal barriers can be physical, climatic, or biological and can include bodies of water or ice, land features like mountains, climate zones, or competition between species.
Biota may refer to: Biota (biology), life, living organisms; Biota (ecology), biome, the plant and animal life of a region; Biota (plant), or Platycladus orientalis, a coniferous tree; Biota!, a proposed aquarium in London; Biota, Cinco Villas, a municipality in Aragon, Spain; Biota (band), an American experimental electronic music ensemble
