“…An ecological consequence of a reduction in streamflow magnitude is a reduction in flood frequency. Natural flooding supplies a primary source of water replenishment to riparian wetlands in the upper Osage River Basin (Heimann and Mettler-Cherry, 2004) providing the physical mechanism for channel and flood plain formation, a primary factor in vegeta- tion composition, distribution, and maintenance as well as habitat for a variety of wildlife. Analyses of hourly simulated and adjusted time series indicated that flood frequency generally was reduced between Current and proposed scenarios in each model basin, although the degree of reduction varied with location in the basin.…”

“…Because streams and channelized rivers are deeply incised and alluvial deposits underlying wetlands consist of fine-grained material of low permeability, ground water generally is not a substantial source of water to riparian wetlands in the basin. Consequently, riparian wetlands in the upper Osage River Basin are recharged primarily through floods and precipitation (Heimann and Mettler-Cherry, 2004).…”

“…Similarly, natural processes and associated landforms seem to affect the distribution or succession of vegetative landcover classes. Flood-plain depressions associated with channel meandering, abandonment, and filling are likely to support a much different assemblage of plants than natural levees or sand splays associated with channel avulsions (for example, Heimann and Mettler-Cherry, 2004;Hupp and Osterkamp, 1996;Scott and others, 1996). The distribution of cottonwoods/willows on Overton Bottoms between 1994 and 2002 suggests a relation between the distribution or succession of vegetative land-cover classes and Lower Missouri River landforms.…”
