Book Synopsis Forest Response to High Duration and Intensity Flooding Along Pool 26 of the Upper Mississippi River by : Robert J. Cosgriff

This book was released on 1999 with total page 2 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many natural resource managers could not anticipate the effects that the flood of 1993 would have on floodplain forests of the Upper Mississippi River. Previous experience suggested that floodplain forests were adapted to such events and should only experience removal of upland a non-native species. However, when trees considered highly flood tolerant did not leaf out in the spring of 1994, natural resource managers began to realize the serious impact that a large-scale flood could have on floodplain forest communities. To better understand these impacts, researchers with the Long Term Resource Monitoring Program at Pool 26 of the Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS) began describing forest community response to the large-scale flood of 1993. The floodplain forests of the UMRS are some of the most productive ecosystems worldwide. These communities provide habitat and forage for many species of wildlife, produce timber, and provide a valuable carbon dioxide sink. Like many other plant communities, floodplain forest successional patterns are largely driven by disturbance events (e.g., fire, wind-throw, flooding, drought, and physical erosion/deposition). Black willow and eastern cottonwood regenerate on recent deposits of substrate (mainly sand) created by the river. As a result of annual floods, fine sediment drops out of suspension and the low landform occupied by the willow/cottonwood community develops into a low terrace. At the same time, the willow/cottonwood community is gradually being replaced by silver maple and green ash. The process of terrace building continues and communities of mixed forests and oak forests develop as elevation increases and the frequency of flooding decreases. Understanding how these communities respond to the various disturbance events, particularly large scale flooding, is important to natural resource managers who are trying to manage for specific or diverse floodplain forest communities.

Book Synopsis A Characterization and Multivariate Analysis of Floodplain Forest Communities in Mississippi River Navigation Pool 24 by : David M. Israelitt
Download or read book A Characterization and Multivariate Analysis of Floodplain Forest Communities in Mississippi River Navigation Pool 24 written by David M. Israelitt and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flood control structures (e.g. levees) and navigation dams on the Upper Mississippi River modify river hydrology, potentially changing the comporition of floodplain forests. Channel constriction and impoundment contribute to differing reductions in water level variation within navigation pools. Historic hydrologic conditions (e.g. flood frequency, flood depth, etc.) on the Mississippi River differ greatly from current conditions, so older trees may no longer be growing in under the hydrolic conditions in which they established. This may potentially affect the success of seedlings from particular species to establish. This study is intended to (1) quantify differing patterns in forest community with Navigation Pool 24 and (2) describe the differential responses of species in relation to the varying hydrology. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers forest survey data, river level data, and elevation data were integrated using GIS. These data were analyzed by plot, in addition to being aggregated to stands defined by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers management unit, river mile, historic land class, and elevation, respectively. The results of this study indicate that forest communities and individual species respond differentially along the hydrologic gradient that exists within Navigation Pool 24.
