Book excerpt: Rivers of North America, Second Edition features new updates on rivers included in the first edition, as well as brand new information on additional rivers. This new edition expands the knowledge base, providing readers with a broader comparative approach to understand both the common and distinct attributes of river networks. The first edition addressed the three primary disciplines of river science: hydrology, geomorphology, and ecology. This new edition expands upon the interactive nature of these disciplines, showing how they define the organization of a riverine landscape and its processes. An essential resource for river scientists working in ecology, hydrology, and geomorphology. Provides a single source of information on North America’s major rivers Features authoritative information on more than 200 rivers from regional specialists Includes full-color photographs and topographical maps to illustrate the beauty, major features, and uniqueness of each river system Offers one-page summaries help readers quickly find key statistics and make comparisons among rivers

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From exploitation to preservation, the complex history of one of the Southeast's most important natural areas and South Carolina's only national park Located at the confluence of the Congaree and Wateree Rivers in central South Carolina, Congaree National Park protects the nation's largest intact expanse of old-growth bottomland hardwood forest. Modern visitors to the park enjoy a pristine landscape that seems ancient and untouched by human hands, but in truth its history is far different. In Nature's Return, Mark Kinzer examines the successive waves of inhabitants, visitors, and landowners of this region by synthesizing information from property and census records, studies of forest succession, tree-ring analyses, slave narratives, and historical news accounts. Established in 1976, Congaree National Park contains within its boundaries nearly twenty-seven thousand acres of protected uplands, floodplains, and swamps. Once exploited by humans for farming, cattle grazing, plantation agriculture, and logging, the park area is now used gently for recreation and conservation. Although the impact of farming, grazing, and logging in the park was far less extensive than in other river swamps across the Southeast, it is still evident to those who know where to look. Cultivated in corn and cotton during the nineteenth century, the land became the site of extensive logging operations soon after the Civil War, a practice that continued intermittently into the late twentieth century. From burning canebrakes to clearing fields and logging trees, inhabitants of the lower Congaree valley have modified the floodplain environment both to ensure their survival and, over time, to generate wealth. In this they behaved no differently than people living along other major rivers in the South Atlantic Coastal Plain. Today Congaree National Park is a forest of vast flats and winding sloughs where champion trees dot the landscape. Indeed its history of human use and conservation make it a valuable laboratory for the study not only of flora and fauna but also of anthropology and modern history. As the impact of human disturbance fades, the Congaree's stature as one of the most important natural areas in the eastern United States only continues to grow.

This book was released on 2014-03-04 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ecological field and modeling study was conducted to examine the flood relations of back swamp forests and park trails of the flood plain portion of Congaree National Park, S.C. Continuous water level gages were distributed across the length and width of the flood plain portion, referred to as a "Congaree Swamp", to facilitate understanding of the lag and peak flood coupling with stage of Congaree River.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This thesis will examine the way the proponents, opponents, and park studies understood and discussed the history and cultural resources of the Congaree Swamp. During the early advocacy of the 1960s and through the planning for the 1988 boundary expansion, proponents of creating a preserve characterized history as distant and having little physical impact on their natural wilderness landscape. Opponents alternatively focused on land uses of hunting, fishing, and logging that, while historic, had also continued through that point in time. For them, creating a preserve landscape would change the landscape they knew through those activities. Studies undertaken by the National Park Service combined the requirements of cultural resource management legislation with the knowledge of park advocates. As time passed, Congaree Swamp National Monument (later Congaree National Park) increasingly has devoted more time and resources to the historical subjects brought up by those who had opposed the park. At present, and into the future, the park has the opportunity to look at the Swamp's past in an interdisciplinary way, as an environmental history of both cultural and natural resources."--Leaf iii.
