Synopsis

This book presents a detailed examination of the Buffalo National River, a free-flowing stream and linear national park in the Ozark Plateaus. By characterizing and classifying the plant communities of the riparian corridor within the park, the author initiates a series of vegetation studies that can be integrated with existing research and management information. Through multivariate analysis and ordination techniques, the author describes how woody and herbaceous vegetation is correlated with several important environmental gradients, including height above river and soil pH, and how responses differ among vegetation layers. The provided data can thus be integrated into management, protection, and restoration strategies, contributing to a more effective, comprehensive approach to preserving and understanding the complex natural ecosystem of the Buffalo National River.
