The vascular flora and phytosociology of navigation pool #8, the upper Mississippi River

Abstract

This thesis deals with the vascular flora and its phytosociology in Navigation Pool #8 of the Upper Mississippi River. The habitats of the area are, for the most part, influenced by permanent or temporal inundation by the river. The construction of levees and the deposition of dredge material have added large areas of man-made habitat to this area that now may not be inundated.
