  • Effects of Headcutting on the Bottomland Hardwood Wetlands Adjacent to the Wolf River, Tennessee by Karen Weins and Thomas H
    ERDC TN-WRP-HS-CP-2.1 February 2003 Effects of Headcutting on the Bottomland Hardwood Wetlands Adjacent to the Wolf River, Tennessee by Karen Weins and Thomas H. Roberts PURPOSE: The Wolf River in western Tennessee has experienced severe channel erosion in the form of headcutting and downcutting that has extended 17 km upstream from the location at which channelization ceased in 1964 (Figure 1). Due to wider and deeper channel dimensions in this reach, the river no longer inundates the floodplain. This technical note describes a study to determine how this hydrologic change has affected the bottomland hardwood (BLH) wetlands adjacent to the Wolf River. Specific objectives were to compare shallow groundwater levels, herbaceous community composition, and growth patterns of Quercus phellos L. in wetlands adjacent to headcut and reference portions of the channel. This study also will provide quantitative baseline data for further research and for monitoring the progress or success of any future restoration programs. Figure 1. Headcutting on the Wolf River, Tennessee BACKGROUND: Riparian BLH forests and southern deepwater swamps constitute the most extensive classes of wetlands in the United States (Mitsch and Gosselink 1993). The largest concentration of these wetlands is located along the Lower Mississippi Valley (LMV) from southern Illinois to the Gulf of Mexico (Newling 1998). BLH wetlands are currently threatened by human expansion in nearly every location that they occur (Shankman 1999). More than 75 percent of the historic BLH wetlands in the LMV have been lost (Dahl 1990). 1 ERDC TN-WRP-HS-CP-2.1 February 2003 These wetlands perform many functions, including storing and slowing surface water flows, providing nutrients to the floodplain through deposition of particulates and organic matter, exporting minerals and nutrients to in-stream and downstream systems, and providing habitat for many plant and animal species (Mitsch and Gosselink 1993; Wilder and Roberts 2002).
