Data Release: Buttonland Swamp, health survey, 2022
November 9, 2023
This dataset contains tree health information in 2022 for ten trees in Buttonland Swamp, part of the Cache River Watershed in Illinois. The data includes the height of the trees along with their crown ratio. This allows an understanding of the size and canopy health of Buttonland Swamp cypress trees. A Munsell color chart was utilized in determining leaf color. Leaf color tells whether the trees are healthy or if they are experiencing stress such as lack of nutrients, exposure to pesticides, or impoundment.

An inconvenient trend: Decadal decline in ground height of swamps in Southern Illinois
An understanding of the long-term trends of ground height and sedimentation in a landscape context can provide a framework to better understand the impacts of agricultural development on floodplain processes. This study examined long-term changes in ground height using surface elevation tables (SETs) and sediment deposition measurements in the Cache River floodplains of Southern Illinois including
