Name: Amazon Delta Swamp Forest Macrogroup Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: Swamp forest of the lower Amazon Basin and the Amazon estuary on islands of clayish soils developed from the sediments carried by the river, with large extensions on Marajo Island. The outer forests subject to a tidal flooding regime are true swamp communities, while the ones further inland, growing on 2- to 3-m higher ground, are more similar to varzeas and get flooded less frequently. Palms are the more conspicuous element of this forest macrogroup; among them are <i>Astrocaryum murumuru, Raphia taedigera, Maximiliana regia, Oenocarpus distichus, Oenocarpus bataua, Mauritia martiana, Mauritia flexuosa, Euterpe oleracea, Manicaria saccifera</i> accompanied by <i>Symphonia globulifera, Virola surinamensis, Ceiba pentandra, Machaerium lanatum, Pithecellobium huberi</i>, and <i>Tabebuia aquatilis</i>. It occurs only in Brazil.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:40893-{DB526138-7015-418F-8F2E-13CE01C14B02} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
