Data Release: Buttonland Swamp, population projection
November 9, 2023
This dataset is part of a population model of Buttonland Swamp in the Cache River Watershed of Illinois. The modeling spans three decades of data from 1990 to 2021. This dataset is used to compare regeneration of Taxodium distichum along a moisture gradient of drier to wetter: Section 8 Woods (2006-2011), Crawford Tract mid-elevation, Eagle Pond, Deer Pond, Wildcat Bluff, Snake Hole, Crawford Tract low elevation, Section 8 Woods (2012-2021), and Heron Pond. Section 8 Woods had a change in hydrology due to a leave break.

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
