摘要：
Dynamics of floodplain wetlands along the Kankakee River in Northeastern Illinois were studied during the Spring flood season of 1979. The study involved hydrology, water chemistry and sedimentation measurements. The wetlands study areas were dominated by silver maple with river birch, pin oak, American elm and swamp white oak as subdominants. The floodplain forest study site was inundated for 62 to 80 days. Sedimentation plates placed on the floodplain prior to flooding collected an average of 590 g/m**2 of sediments, representing a gross deposition of 4500 metric tons of sediments on the entire wetland area.
