Invasive Species Change Plant Community Composition of Preserved Prairie Pothole Wetlands [PDF]
Plants, 2023 Plant communities in North American prairie pothole wetlands vary depending on hydrology, salinity, and anthropogenic disturbance in and around the wetland. We assessed prairie pothole conditions on United States Fish and Wildlife Service fee-title lands

Modeling groundwater responses to climate change in the Prairie Pothole Region [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2020 Shallow groundwater in the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) is predominantly recharged by snowmelt in the spring and supplies water for evapotranspiration through the summer and fall. This two-way exchange is underrepresented in current land surface models.
