  abstract = {{T}his article reports major results from collaborative research between {F}rance and {B}razil on soil and water systems, carried out in the {U}pper {A}mazon {B}asin. {I}t reveals the weathering processes acting in the partly inundated, low elevation plateaus of the {B}asin, mostly covered by evergreen forest. {O}ur findings are based on geochemical data and mineral spectroscopy that probe the crystal chemistry of {F}e and {A}l in mineral phases (mainly kaolinite, {A}l- and {F}e-(hydr)oxides) of tropical soils (laterites). {T}hese techniques reveal crystal alterations in mineral populations of different ages and changes of metal speciation associated with mineral or organic phases. {T}hese results provide an integrated model of soil formation and changes (from laterites to podzols) in distinct hydrological compartments of the {A}mazon landscapes and under altered water regimes.},
