Acknowledgments

The authors wish to thank the former and present Bureau of Land Management Wood River Wetland coordinators Wedge Watkins, Michael Turaski, Andrew Hamilton, and Robert Roninger for their support and assistance with logistics, staff gage readings, and land survey data. David Ross from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Klamath Basin Ecosystem Restoration Office was helpful during the early planning of the study and we thank him for sponsoring this research. Several USGS employees contributed to this work—Andrew Arnsberg and Curt Hughes helped with field sampling, Kevin Knutson and Charley Palmer installed the network of ground-water piezometers, and Tana Haluska provided valuable assistance processing the LiDAR data. April McKeller, Scott Vanderkooi and Rip Shively (USGS) provided field and logistical support. George Aiken, James Kuwabara, and Ronald Avanzino (USGS National Research Program) provided dissolved organic carbon, nitrate, ammonium, chloride, and various trace metal analyses. Special thanks to Allison Aldous (The Nature Conservancy), Larry Dunsmoor (Klamath Tribes), Stan Geiger (Aquatic Scientific Resources), and Tim Mayer (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service), who contributed through discussions about the history and condition of the upper Klamath River basin and the ecology of its wetlands—their insights and expertise were most helpful.
