Hydrologic modification for habitat improvement in the Finger Lakes: Pre-Project Report Number 2, 1993 The Finger Lakes Habitat Rehabilitation and Enhancement Project(HREP) is intended to improve winter habitat conditions for fish in a series of interconnected backwater lakes of the Mississippi River near Alma, Wisconsin. Winter habitat requirements (temperature, flow velocity, and dissolved oxygen) for the target fish population in the Finger Lakes have been defined and limnologcal efforts have been aimed at quantifying the spatial-temporal patterns and interrelationships among water movement, oxygen, and temperature. The progress to date (pre-construction) has included detailed investigations into (1) system hydrology (including dye-tracer studies), (2) oxygen supply and depletion, (3) temperature regime, (4) aquatic...

Sources of mineral nutrition for submersed macrophyte growth in riverine systems: Results of initial investigations Widespread decline of Vallisneria americana Michx. and other submersed aquatic species occurred in portions of the Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS) during 1988 1991. These declines prompted study efforts by the LTRMP to better understand factors potentially contributing to the declines. One likely factor limiting growth is nitrogen (N) availability. In order to sustain plant growth over time, N supplies to the sediments need to be replenished as they become depleted due to plant uptake and diffusional losses. During periods of prolonged low flow hydraulic conditions, the availability of N in backwaters of the UMR may limit the productivity of Vallisneria and other species of rooted macrophytes. In this study,... Categories: Publication; Types: Map Service, OGC WFS Layer, OGC WMS Layer, OGC WMS Service

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.
