Fischer NT, Toll MS, Cully AC, Potter LD. 1983. Vegetation along Green and Yampa rivers and response to fluctuating water levels, Dinosaur National Monument: Final report. Contract No. CX-1200-2-B024. The University of New Mexico, Biology Department. Albuquerque, NM
The principal objective of this study is the determination of the roles of natural flow and water level fluctuations on the stream morphology and the ecology of the riparian and floodzone vegetation of the Yampa River in Dinosaur National Monument. The physical and biological changes which have occurred on the Green River since the construction of the dam at Flaming Gorge provide a basis for predicting the changes which would occur on the Yampa River in the event of an impoundment upstream. Charts, tables, photographs, maps, bibliography, and appendix.
