Anuran occupancy dynamics and an assessment of floodplain wetland distribution and hydrology in a Missouri River floodplain
I studied amphibians and their associated wetlands in the Missouri River floodplain in Iowa from 2010-2013. I had the opportunity to study the effect of a catastrophic flood on an anuran community in the Missouri River floodplain. Three species (plains leopard frog, Woodhouse’s toad, and Blanchard’s cricket frog) had only minor changes in adult male occupancy rate in the two years after the flo...
متن کاملSuccession modeling of river floodplain landscapes
The spatial organization of ecological units that constitute river floodplains was modeled using a recent image synthesis method. The model combined a purely spatial process, the stochastic pyramid, with analytical descriptions of ecological successions observed on each landform of the fluvial landscape. Because the stochastic pyramid is a generator of non-homogeneous, anisotropic, multicolored...
متن کاملHydrologic Variability of the Cosumnes River Floodplain
Natural floodplain ecosystems are adapted to highly variable hydrologic regimes, which include periodic droughts, infrequent large floods, and relatively frequent periods of inundation. Effectively managing water resources and maintaining ecosystem services provided by floodplains—and associated aquatic, riparian, and wetland habitats—requires an understanding of seasonal and inter-annual hydro...
متن کاملRelationships between Hydrology, Spatial Heterogeneity, and Fish Recruitment Dynamics in a Temperate Floodplain River
Fish populations in the Brazos River, Texas, were surveyed monthly for 2 years to determine the relative influence of hydrology and habitat characteristics on the recruitment dynamics of seven species representing three divergent life history strategies. Surveys were conducted in two oxbow lakes with different flood recurrence intervals and the main river channel. The first year was relatively ...
متن کاملTrace metal dynamics in floodplain soils of the river Elbe: a review.
This paper reviews trace metal dynamics in floodplain soils using the Elbe floodplains in Germany as an example of extraordinary importance because of the pollution level of its sediments and soils. Trace metal dynamics are determined by processes of retention and release, which are influenced by a number of soil properties including pH value, redox potential, organic matter, type and amount of...
