Application of Hydraulic Models for the Analysis of the Interaction of the Illinois River and Its Floodplain
The Illinois River is one of the major tributaries of the Mississippi River in the central United States with a drainage area of 75,156 square kilometers. The Illinois River connects the Great Lakes with the Mississippi River through the Illinois Waterway that consists of eight lock and dams along the Illinois River and its tributaries. Because of its central location in the state and being the...
متن کاملThe impact of nitrogen contamination and river modification on a Mississippi River floodplain lake.
Anthropogenic nitrogen contamination has increased in ecosystems around the world (frequently termed the "nitrogen cascade"). Coke production for steel manufacturing is often overlooked as a source of nitrogen to natural ecosystems. We examined sediment cores from a Horseshoe Lake, a floodplain lake located just East of St. Louis Missouri (USA) to test whether a coking plant effluent could be t...

15 صفحه اولFish Diversity and Abundance in Relation to Interannual and Lake-Specific Variation in Abiotic Characteristics of Floodplain Lakes of the Lower Kaskaskia River, Illinois
—The importance of floodplain lakes to tropical river systems is well established, but little is known about the function of these habitats in temperate river systems. We examined fish diversity, abundance, and reproduction within six oxbow lakes of the Kaskaskia River, Illinois, over 5 years and their relationship to 11 abiotic environmental variables. The lakes were hydrologically dynamic wit...
متن کاملFatty acid analysis as a tool to infer the diet in Illinois river otters (Lontra canadensis)
Fatty acids (FA) have recently been used in several studies to infer the diet in a number of species. While these studies have been largely successful, most have dealt with predators that have a fairly specialized diet. In this paper, we used FA analysis as a tool to infer the diet of the nearctic river otter (Lontra canadensis). The river otter is an opportunistic predator known to subsist on ...
