This report presents a broad overview of spatial and temporal variation in the limnological characteristics of the Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS). Important sources of variability within the UMRS include a longitudinal (north-south) gradient, and differences among years, seasons, and aquatic areas (e.g., main channel versus contiguous backwaters). Understanding spatial and temporal variation at these scales requires a systemic perspective on the river. The Long Term Resource Monitoring Program (LTRMP) ...

Since 1988 the Long Term Resource Monitoring Program (LTRMP) staff have performed basic limnological field measurements in the Upper Mississippi River System. The period of this report (1993-96) includes a major revision of the LTRMP sampling design in 1993 that added randomization broader spatial coverage and increased monitoring of tributaries and locations that allow monitoring of material transport. Personnel from the LTRMP Onalaska (Wisconsin) Field Station made about 1300 vi ...
