  Description:
    Abstract:
      The Long Term Resource Monitoring Program (LTRMP) of the Upper
      Mississippi River System (UMRS) authorizes monitoring of submersed
      aquatic vegetation (SAV) in the river system. This report summarizes
      the 1991 effort of monitoring SAV along transects permanently
      established in vegetated locations in four navigation pools of the
      Upper Mississippi River and one navigation pool of the Illinois
      River. Seventeen species of submersed aquatic plants were found
      along transects in Pools 4, 8, 13, and 26 and La Grange Pool. The
      highest number of submersed aquatic plant species found in any one
      pool was 16 in Pool 4 and the lowest number was 6 in La Grange Pool.
      Coon's tail (Ceratophyllum demersum) and sago pondweed (Potamogeton
      pectinatus) were the only two species found in every study pool
      during both spring and summer sampling. Decreases in pondweed
      species noticeably affected the number of transect sites with SAV in
      Pools 4 and 13. In Pool 8, nearly all species declined between
      sampling periods and the proportion of sites with SAV dropped to
      less than 10% by August, the most decline of any pool.
    Purpose: Reporting results of research.
