These data are a component of a floodplain forest canopy gap dynamics study initiated in 2019 and funded through the US Army Corps of Engineers Upper Mississippi River Restoration, Science Supporting Restoration program. The study included two components: a geospatial component to utilize lidar to identify and map canopy gaps across multiple navigation pools (8, 9, 13, 21, 24, 26 (through Maple Island just south of Lock and Dam 26), and the lower 32 miles of the Illinois River from its confluence with the Mississippi River to Kampsville, IL) within the Upper Mississippi River floodplain and a field component to characterize vegetation in a small subset of the remotely sensed gaps. This layer provides field-collected...
ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
