Summary

Vegetation type and density data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center at three locations in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. Data were collected in Lindsey Slough in April 2017, and Middle River and the Mokelumne River in March 2018. Vegetation samples were collected by divers, and used to determine dry biomass density. These data were collected as part of a cooperative project, with the USGS California Water Science Center and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, on the effects of invasive aquatic vegetation on sediment transport in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.

Purpose

The data were collected to determine vegetation density and frontal area, to support interpretation of measurements of current attenuation within the vegetation. Users are advised to check the data carefully for sampling time, location, and reference information. These data are intended for science researchers, students, policy makers, and the general public.
