Mississippi River (LMR), but due to human interactions they have severely affected the ecological functions of the floodplains. By researching spatial analysis, this happens when a floodplain becomes isolated from the main stem of the river by constructing levees (in order to prevent major floods in populated neighborhoods) and changing landscapes (for example, bulldozing forests and paving over that land with concrete). The levees built by the federal government in the Mississippi River has influenced
