| Title | Emerging Reservoir Delta‐Backwaters: Biophysical Dynamics and Riparian Biodiversity |
| Creator | Volke, Malia A. Johnson, W. Carter Dixon, Mark D. Scott, Michael L. |
| Description | Deltas and backwater‐affected bottomlands are forming along tributary and mainstem confluences in reservoirs worldwide. Emergence of prograding deltas, along with related upstream hydrogeomorphic changes to river bottomlands in the backwater fluctuation zones of reservoirs, signals the development of new and dynamic riparian and wetland habitats. This study was conducted along the regulated Missouri River, USA, to examine delta‐backwater formation and describe vegetation response to its... |
