Merced River Corridor Restoration Plan Baseline Studies--Volume II: Geomorphic and Riparian Vegetation Investigations Report (Appendices)

Abstract or Long Description:

This database displays a morphologic map of the Quaternary valley floor and channel corridor of the Merced River, CA. Specifically described in the valley morphology map are the 1) currently active river channel (including gravel pits and reservoirs) of the Merced River, 2) historical fluvial landforms (terraces, recently abandoned floodplains, and dredger tailings), and 3) floodplains inundated at 6,000 cfs the maximum allowable flood release under U.S. Army Corps of Engineers flood control rules.

Purpose:
These data were created to estimate the extent of existing and potential geomorphic surfaces inundated by the maximum flood release (6,000 cfs) and to test hypotheses regarding vegetation community composition and position relative to the fluvial geomorphic surfaces.
