The Wolf River in western Tennessee has experienced severe channel erosion in the form of headcutting and downcutting that has extended 17 kilometers upstream from the location at which channelization ceased in 1964. Due to wider and deeper channel dimensions in this reach, the river no longer inundates the floodplain. This technical note describes a study to determine how this hydrologic change has affected the bottomland hardwood (BLH) wetlands adjacent to the Wolf River. Specific objectives were to compare shallow groundwater levels, herbaceous community composition, and growth patterns of Quercus phellos L. in wetlands adjacent to headcut and reference portions of the channel. The study also will provide quantitative baseline data for further research and for monitoring the progress or success of any future restoration programs. (4 tables, 4 figures, 37 refs.)
