<br />CHAPTER 2: ECOLOGICAL OVERVIEW-POSTFLOOD RECOVERY AND ECOSYSTEM MANAGEMENT 25
<br />
<br />LOWER FLOODPLAIN REACH
<br />
<br />Jahn and Anderson (1986) prepared an outstanding
<br />review of available data for Pools 19 and 20 and compiled
<br />them in a report that reviews all aspects of river ecology,
<br />They report species composition for aquatic and terrestrial
<br />plants. phytoplankton. zooplankton, macro invertebrates,
<br />mussels, invertebrate habitat associations. fishes, amphibi-
<br />ans and reptiles, birds, mammals. and endangered species.
<br />The Nine-Foot Channel Environmental Impact Studies
<br />(Colbert and others. 1975) produced similar data for Pool
<br />26, Present monitoring data are available at the LTRMP
<br />Pool 26 field station for fishes (Fredrick Cronin. unpub,
<br />data) and for vegetation (John Nelson. unpub, data, 1993),
<br />
<br />MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI REACH
<br />
<br />Terpening and others (1974) compiled species lists for
<br />the middle Mississippi River, Their efforts provided recent
<br />information on vegetation. fishes, amphibians. reptiles.
<br />birds, and mammals. Current monitoring efforts at the
<br />LTRMP open-river field station deal with vegetation (Yao
<br />Yin. University of Tennessee, unpub. data. 1993) and fishes
<br />(Michael Peterson, Missouri Department of Conservation.
<br />unpub. data), Hus (1908) conducted extensive floral studies
<br />near SI. Louis. and Yin and Nelson (Chapter 3) have
<br />stepped further back in time to provide infonnation on the
<br />early 1800's,
<br />
<br />ILLINOIS RIVER REACH
<br />
<br />Havera and others (1980) conducted extensive surveys
<br />on the IlJinois River to assess impacts associated with
<br />changes in flow caused by hydrologic modifications in its
<br />headwaters (i,e.. Lake Michigan connection). They com-
<br />piled information on plants. zooplankton. fishes. amphibi-
<br />ans, reptiles. birds, mammals, and endangered species.
<br />Monitoring at the LTRMP LaGrange Pool field station pro-
<br />vides current information on fishes (Paul Raibley. Illinois
<br />Natural History Survey. un pub, data) and vegetation
<br />(Andrew Spink, Illinois Natuml History Survey, unpub,
<br />data). Research on the Illinois River was initiated by
<br />Stephen A, Forbes in the late 1800's: his work and that of
<br />many others who followed him provide a wealth of ecologi-
<br />cal information to assess effects through time.
<br />Systemwide studies of vegetation can be found in the
<br />work by Mohlenbrock (1975). and extensive compilations
<br />of fish species distribution can be found in the works by
<br />Rasmussen (1979) and Fremling and others (1989), Pitlo
<br />and others (1995) compiled an update to the 1979 fish
<br />compendium.
