Excerpt from Inventory and Characterization of the Riparian Zone (Wetlands) At Buffalo National River
Between June 1994 and August 1995, we established transects at 36 sites along the Buffalo River. Study sites were chosen from among locations accessible by secondary roads or foot trails that were separated by approximately 5 km (3 mi). Transects ran perpendicular from the river channel uphill to a point where the forest was dominated by oak (quercus spp.) and hickory (carya Each transect site was categorized by landscape position. The vegetation sampling included 19 sites located in secondary forests and 16 located in campgrounds or fields.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed examination of the Buffalo National River, a free-flowing stream and linear national park in the Ozark Plateaus. By characterizing and classifying the plant communities of the riparian corridor within the park, the author initiates a series of vegetation studies that can be integrated with existing research and management information. Through multivariate analysis and ordination techniques, the author describes how woody and herbaceous vegetation is correlated with several important environmental gradients, including height above river and soil pH, and how responses differ among vegetation layers. The provided data can thus be integrated into management, protection, and restoration strategies, contributing to a more effective, comprehensive approach to preserving and understanding the complex natural ecosystem of the Buffalo National River.
