  abstract = {{T}he erosion and transport of sediments allow us to understand many activities of significance, such as crust evolution, climate change, uplift rates, continental processes, the biogeochemical cycling of pollutants and nutrients. {T}he {A}mazon basin of {P}eru has contrasting physiographic and climatic characteristics between the {A}ndean piedmont and the plains and between the north and south of the basin which is why there are 8 gauging stations located along the principal rivers of the {A}ndean piedmont ({M}aranon, {H}uallaga, {U}cayali) and the plain ({M}aranon, {T}igre, {N}apo, {U}cayali and {A}mazon rivers). {S}ince 2003, the {ORE}-{H}ybam ({IRD}-{SENAMHI}-{UNALM}) observatory has performed out regular measurements at strategic points of the {A}mazon basin to understand and model the systems, behavior and long-term dynamics. {O}n the {A}ndean piedmont, the suspended yields are governed by a simple model with a relationship between the river discharge and the sediment concentration. {I}n the plain, the dilution effect of the concentrations can create hysteresis in this relationship on a monthly basis. {T}he {A}mazon basin of {P}eru has a sediment yield of 541 *10(6) t year(-1), 70% comes from the southern basin. {P}ublished by {E}lsevier {L}td.},
