Vegetative Analysis of the Flookplain of the Trinity River, Texas,
Abstract
This report is a vegetative study of the floodplain of the Trinity River to analyze and describe representative plant communities. From this data, frequency, density, dominance and important value figures were obtained. A community alludes to any assemblage of organisms in a given area at a given time; locations for this study were chosen so that woody vegetation of the Trinity River floodplain could be characterized. This area is variable from the standpoint of rainfall, soils, and land use. Vegetation type of greatest concern in this study was the bottomland hardwood forest; thus, intra and inter area study sites were selected for woody vegetational analysis. Checklists were made of woody and herbaceous species that were rare and endangered which will have impact on the future industrial, residential, and agricultural development of the Trinity River floodplain.
