Widespread tree mortality in a central delta-plain interdistributary basin. In this case the widespread tree mortality

is natural and is probably induced by increased water depths and/or duration of inundation, and demonstrates the

dynamic nature of delta plain ecosystems. Note the vast forested delta plain in the distance. Photograph taken in

March 1998.
