  abstract = {{T}he {A}ndean {C}ordillera and piedmont significantly influence river system and dynamics, being the source of many of the important rivers of the {A}mazon basin. {T}he {B}eni {R}iver, whose upper sub-catchments drain the {A}ndean and sub-{A}ndean ranges, is a major tributary of the {M}adeira {R}iver. {T}his study examines the river in the south-western {A}mazonian lowlands of {B}olivia, where it develops mobile meanders. {C}hannel migration, meander-bend morphology and ox-bow lakes are analysed at different temporal and spatial scales. {T}he first part of this study was undertaken with the aim to link the erosion-deposition processes in the active channel with hydrological events. {T}he quantification of annual erosion and deposition areas shows high inter-annual and spatial variability. {I}n this study, we investigate the conditions of sediment exportation in the river in relation to three hydrological parameters (flood intensity, date of discharge peak and duration of the bank-full stage level). {T}he second part of this study, focusing on the abandoned meanders, analyses the cutoff processes and the post-abandonment evolution during 1967-2001. {T}his approach shows the influence of the active channel behaviour on the sediment diffusion and sequestration of the abandoned meanders and allows us to build a first model of the contemporary floodplain evolution. {C}opyright},
