Monitoring Wetland Functional Recovery of Bottomland Hardwood Sites in the Yazoo Basin, MS

Abstract

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Vicksburg District has the task of mitigating functions of bottomland hardwood (BLH) wetland forests in Mississippi lost as a result of the construction of various water resource projects. To date, the Vicksburg District has reforested almost 20,000 acres of BLH forest. This technical note reports on early functional recovery and monitoring at several of these sites, utilizing methodology based on "The Regional Guidebook for Conducting Functional Assessments Based on Hydrogeomorphic (HGM) Classification and Reference Wetlands for Selected Wetland Subclasses in the Yazoo Basin, Lower Mississippi River Alluvial Valley, USA" (Smith and Klimas 2002).
