dc.description.abstractThe objective of the Cache River environmental database was to design a digital database suitable to characterize and understand the Cache River wetlands system. The database was also to serve as an archive for data collected during the Wetlands Research Program. The data archive complies with Executive Order 12906 on data documentation and access. The Cache-River environmental database is one of the first comprehensive environmental databases to conform to several new Federal regulations and standards addressing geographic data acquisitions, storage, and access.en_US
