亚马逊河流域非凡的社会生态系统由不同的水阶段维持,通量,和横跨热带安第斯山脉的商店,亚马逊低地,和大西洋。这种“安第斯山脉-亚马逊-大西洋”(AAA)途径是一个复杂的水文气候系统,由区域水循环通过大气环流和大陆水文学联系在一起。这里,我们的目标是阐明AAA水文气候途径作为研究的基础系统,管理,养护,以及亚马逊河流域水生系统的治理。我们将AAA通路识别并描述为相互依存的,多方向,和多尺度水文气候系统。然后,我们对AAA途径的最近(1981年至2020年)变化进行了评估,主要反映了水文通量速率的加速(即,水循环强化)。我们讨论了不断变化的AAA途径如何协调和影响社会生态系统。最后,我们提出了正在进行的研究中AAA途径可持续性的四项建议,管理,养护,和治理。
The Amazon River Basin\'s extraordinary social-ecological system is sustained by various water phases, fluxes, and stores that are interconnected across the tropical Andes mountains, Amazon lowlands, and Atlantic Ocean. This \"Andes-Amazon-Atlantic\" (AAA) pathway is a complex hydroclimatic system linked by the regional water cycle through atmospheric circulation and continental hydrology. Here, we aim to articulate the AAA hydroclimate pathway as a foundational system for research, management, conservation, and governance of
aquatic systems of the Amazon Basin. We identify and describe the AAA pathway as an interdependent, multidirectional, and multiscale hydroclimate system. We then present an assessment of recent (1981 to 2020) changes in the AAA pathway, primarily reflecting an acceleration in the rates of hydrologic fluxes (i.e., water cycle intensification). We discuss how the changing AAA pathway orchestrates and impacts social-ecological systems. We conclude with four recommendations for the sustainability of the AAA pathway in ongoing research, management, conservation, and governance.
