Aquatic Vegetation Monitoring
The Mississippi River is of global importance to persons and to the wildlife that live on and migrate along the river corridor. Data collected and processed by the Long-Term Resource Monitoring (LTRM) element of the Upper Mississippi River Restoration (UMRR) Program serves to help us understand, restore, and protect this remarkable ecosystem. The LTRM has collected aquatic and floodplain...
Overview of Aquatic Vegetation Community Types of the Mississippi River
Aquatic vegetation provides numerous ecosystem services, including food for wildlife, water clarification, fisheries habitat, and natural beauty. This project evaluated the vegetation community types in the Mississippi River. By comparing vegetation abundance data to environmental factors, scientists were able to predict the type of vegetation that might be expected in segments of the river system...
