  abstract = {{E}xtensive floodplains throughout the {A}mazon basin support important ecosystem services and influence global water and carbon cycles. {A} recent change in the hydroclimatic regime of the region, with increased rainfall in the northern portions of the basin, has produced record-breaking high water levels on the {A}mazon {R}iver mainstem. {Y}et, the implications for the magnitude and duration of floodplain inundation across the basin remain unknown. {H}ere we leverage state-of-the-art hydrological models, supported by in-situ and remote sensing observations, to show that the maximum annual inundation extent along the central {A}mazon increased by 26% since 1980. {W}e further reveal increased flood duration and greater connectivity among open water areas in multiple {A}mazon floodplain regions. {T}hese changes in the hydrological regime of the world's largest river system have major implications for ecology and biogeochemistry, and require rapid adaptation by vulnerable populations living along {A}mazonian rivers.},
