Geographic Information System Modeling Procedures for the Upper Mississippi River System Migratory Bird Pilot Project.

Abstract

The Upper Mississippi River (UMR) corridor provides critical habitat for millions of migratory birds each year. The long-term viability of the UMR as a resource for migratory birds is threatened by the adverse effects of sedimentation and many human-induced influences. Wise stewardship of this politically and ecologically complex river system depends on a thorough understanding of its biological relations.
