'''Char Chapori''' ({{Langx|as|চৰ চাপৰি}}) is an area in [[Brahmaputra]] river and its tributaries in the Indian state [[Assam]] constitution of floodplain sediments.

==Livelihood and Environment==<br />
<br />
Communities in the Char Chaporis have developed livelihood and farming practices closely linked to the seasonal rhythms of the Brahmaputra. Agriculture, grazing, and small-scale settlements are sustained by the fertile but shifting terrain. These practices rely on generational knowledge and adaptation to an uncertain environment. However, increasing climate variability poses significant risks to these adaptive systems, making long-term sustainability a growing concern.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Living in a transient riverine environment: Environmental stressors and opportunities in the braid bars of Brahmaputra River |url=https://pureadmin.qub.ac.uk/ws/portalfiles/portal/637692562/Living_in_a_transient_riverine_environment.pdf}}</ref><br />
