Description

The objective of this study is to characterize and quantify the wetland vegetation present on Benton Lake NWR in terms of individual species, as well as vegetation types habitat types and community types. This will be related spatially on a map created to present the vegetation data at a scale to show individual landform and vegetational features, such as small nesting islands and patches of bulrush. The project was designed for quantifying vegetative habitat values and liabilities, as well as for analyzing potential responses to various water management alternatives.
