Ducks Unlimited Canada,Description: iv, 42 (22) p. : ill. , maps ; 28 cmOnline resources: Abstract: The Siisiip conceptual review relied heavily upon past trends of habitat succession in three old impoundment marshes at the Cumberland Marshes project which were used to forecast future succession in the new development area. This supplementary report provides a detailed review of the relevant aspects of the Cumberland impoundments that were applied in developing the Siisiip conceptualization. Current patterns of habitat composition in the Cumberland impoundment marshes have developed through the inter-play between pre-flood topography and drainage, post-flood water depth, and subsequent water level fluctuations. Prior to impoundment, topography and drainage determined soil characteristics and vegetation cover. Subsequent short-term succession during the initial post-flood period was governed by the interaction between water depths and these soil and vegetation characteristics.
