title: Amazon river: environmental factors that control its dissolved and suspended load.
abstract: Analytical results of sampling during both wet and dry seasons along the Amazon River, at its mouth, and from 16 tributaries reveal that the physical weathering dominant in the Andean mountainous environment controls both the overall composition of the suspended solids discharged by the Amazon and the amount of dissolved salts and suspended solids discharged.
