The livelihoods of Amazonian peasants are often highly dependent on the unique characteristics of the local biophysical environment. Previous studies focus on understanding how Amazonian peasant livelihoods are adapted to upland or riverine environments, whether they be nutrient-rich whitewater rivers or nutrient-poor blackwater rivers. Less is known about how residents adapt practices following dynamic change in their biophysical environment.
