The time series map shows 1) change in vegetation type and 2) change in area of invasive plants in the years 1962,1973 and 2005.Most notable is the correlation between emergent plants and water level; as water depth increases, the area of emergent plants decreases. The impact of water level on invasive species is non-conclusive.
