Abstract:
... The development and evolution of islands along the lower Mississippi River were examined over a 50 year period, between 1965 and 2015. Fluvial islands were historically a fundamental component of the riparian corridor, serving as important ecological habitat for aquatic and terrestrial species. Their degradation was associated with channel engineering, leading to a pronounced single thread channel ...
