The effects of disturbance on the ecological integrity of seasonal pools and northern white cedar swamps were determined. Drawing on the expertise of the VT Nongame and Natural Heritage Program with the VT Department of Environmental Conservation's background in biocriteria development, this project captured a range of data on natural community composition and structure at these less common wetland sites.Physical Parameters and Site ClassificationPhysical characteristics of each study siteVMC.332.352mySQL/femc/data/archive/project/an-evaluation-chemical-physical-biological-characteristics/dataset/physical-parameters-site-classification1999-01-012000-12-31SiteSite NameName of site visitedtextDateDateDate of site visitdatetimeYYYY-MM-DDTownTownName of town site is located intextLatitudeLatitudeLatitude coordinateintmeterrealLongitudeLongitudeLongitude coordinateintmeterrealElevationSite ElevationElevation of siteintmeterrealVernal PoolsVernal Pools within 150 metersNumber of vernal pools within 150 meters of siteintWatershed AreaArea of WatershedArea of watershedintmeterrealOther WetlandsOther Wetlands within 150 metersNumber of wetlands within 150 meters of siteintCanopy CoverPercent Canopy CoverPercent of aboveground portion of site covered by canopyintmeterreal0100Pool AreaPool AreaArea of poolintmeterrealPerimeterPool PerimeterDistance around poolintmeterrealWater DepthDepth of WaterDepth of waterintmeterrealWetted DepthTotal Wetted DepthTotal depth of pool, including water and pool sedimentintmeterrealReferenceReference Sitesites with a total disturbance rank of 3 or less and with no individual disturbance type ranked above 2 (moderate)textDisturbedDisturbed SiteSites disturbed by developmenttextPermanentPermanent SitePermanent sites based on observations over the two field seasonstext
