McCartha for this presentation on the floristic diversity and plant communities on six Lower Mississippi River islands through the lens of flooding and island habitat formations. From conducting a flora of the islands, 474 species were recorded, including
14 state records and over 100 county records. Subsequent plot work explored relationships between plant community compositions and abiotic factors (elevation, soil, island size and age, latitude, proximity to tributary confluences). Grace looks forward to
sharing adventurous river stories and exciting botanical findings with fellow plant enthusiasts.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
