An experiment to improve ecological conditions while maintaining a 9-foot (2.74-m) navigation channel was continued in 1995 and 1996 on the three pools of the Upper Mississippi River managed by the St. Louis District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Water levels were held from 1 to 3 feet (0.3 to 0.9 m) lower than maximum regulated elevations at the dam from about mid-June through July in Pools 24 and 25 and Melvin Price Pool. Water levels were then gradually raised as discharge allowed. Vegetation was surveyed along an elevational gradient in eight areas in 1995 and six areas in 1996. Seven plant genera were identified in 1995 and five genera in 1996. Amaranthus spp. (pigweed), Cyperus spp. (chufa), Echinochloa spp....
