Abstract System-scale restoration efforts within the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge have included annual monitoring of submersed aquatic vegetation (SAV) since 1998 in four representative reaches spanning ? 440 river kilometers. We developed predictive models relating data (site-scale SAV abundance indices) to diver-harvested biomass, used back-estimate standing stock...
