Macroinvertebrate Biomonitoring Criteria and Community Composition in Seasonal Floodplain Wetlands of the Upper Missouri River
Regulated river flows and land-use activities have altered the floodplain ecosystem within the Upper Missouri River basin. These changes have led to decreased connectivity between the floodplain and main river and enhanced land-use activities (i.e., agriculture) within the floodplain. Knowledge of …
