Data were collected in Lindsey Slough in April 2017, and Middle River and the Mokelumne River in March 2018. Vegetation samples were collected by divers, and used to determine dry biomass density. These data were collected as part of a cooperative project, with the USGS California Water Science Center and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, on the effects of invasive aquatic vegetation on sediment transport in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. Purpose: The data were collected to determine vegetation density and frontal area, to support interpretation of measurements of current attenuation within the vegetation. Users are advised to check the data carefully for sampling time, location, and reference information. These data are intended for science researchers, students, policy makers, and the general public.

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: No formal positional accuracy tests were conducted Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: Plant biomass samples were collected by divers from 0.25 square-meter quadrats in submerged aquatic vegetation patches during April, 2017 and March, 2018. Quadrat locations were recorded using a hand-held Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver at the water surface. Process_Date: 201803 Process_Step: Process_Description: Plant biomass samples were placed in plastic bags and transported in coolers to the laboratory. In the lab, plant biomass samples were rinsed with de-ionized water until the water ran clear, which took approximately 8-9 rinses. After washing, plant biomass samples were sorted by species and the stem diameter of each plant fragment was measured in the middle of the fragment. After measurements, all plant biomass samples were dried in the drying oven at 40 C for 72 hours and then weighed.
