Notes:
Abstract Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, and Wisconsin have strong botanical traditions that have resulted in a macrophyte literature which documents the identity, taxonomy, floristics, and ecology of aquatic macrophytes and wetland vegetation of the Upper Mississippi River and its floodplain. These findings are reviewed with respect to floristics, vegetation dynamics (patterns, history, production and management), and environmental changes that impact vegetation. Aspects requiring future study are noted to direct subsequent investigations.
