Reoccurring Weather/Flooding Anomaly in Bottomlands, SC

Date: 
02/2015
Disturbance Type: 
Flooding
Unknown

ForWarn discovered a reoccurring anomaly in the bottomland wetlands of South Carolina. Similar anomalies were seen in 2010, 2014, and 2015 in the area of concern. Starting in January, the winter anomaly excludes association with insect defoliation. The decline in vegetation greenness can be attributed to an unusually cold winter or flooding.
