Overview

NCALM Seed Project. PI: Scott Starr, University of Alabama. The area of interest is defined by a quadrilateral polygon with an area of 39.5 km² located 20 km west of Tuscaloosa, AL. The data were collected for predicting seasonal inundation dynamics and invertebrate community structure of an unregulated southeastern river floodplain.
