The longest river in North America, the Missouri, trends southeast from Montana across the
mid continent of the United States, 3,768 km to its confluence with the Mississippi River near …

Long-term ecological monitoring is essential to gain an understanding of the interaction
between spatial and temporal patterns and variability. The goals of our study were to test for …

Abstract The Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS) is a large and diverse river system
that changes character along its 1,200 mile network of rivers and canals and 2.6 million …

We assessed the similarity of fish communities among river reaches to assess community‐
level fragmentation by low‐head dams in the Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS). The …

We identified priority sites for freshwater conservation in the Upper Mississippi River (UMR)
basin using a coarse‐and fine‐filter approach to defining biodiversity elements as building …

In river systems, high‐head dams may increase the distance‐decay of fish community
similarity by creating nearly impermeable dispersal barriers to certain species from upstream …

Quantifying changes in the cover of river-floodplain systems can provide important insights
into the processes that structure these landscapes as well as the potential consequences to …

Natural hydrogeomorphic characteristics and hydrologic alterations are important ecological
drivers, and hydrology is also a common ecological, flood control and navigation system …

Ecosystem restoration planning requires quantitative rigor to evaluate alternatives, define
end states, report progress and perform environmental benefits analysis (EBA) …

Large wood (LW) plays important geomorphic and ecological roles in rivers and is widely
used as a restoration tool. Changes to floodplain land use and historical removal have …
