The study area included the Upper Mississippi River floodplain between Genoa, Wisconsin, and south of Dubuque, Iowa. Data were analyzed to identify changes which occurred over the 20-yr period and these changes have been combined to represent gains and losses. Gains generally equate to a loss of aquatic plant beds and islands in the lower pools (erosion), while losses are generally restricted to off-channel habitats and represent the effects of sedimentation. Between 1972 and 1992, gains totaled 6,959 hectares; losses totaled 6,321 hectares. Purpose: Reporting results of research.
