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.An Evaluation of the Chemical, Physical, and Biological Characteristics of Seasonal Pools and Northern White Cedar SwampsBurnhamDougSorensonEricbiogeochemistrycommunity compositionwhite cedar swampsseasonal poolsvernal poolsChemical Parameters1999-01-012000-12-31Chemical features of each study siteTo assess chemical, physical, and biological characteristics of seasonal pools and northern white cedar swampsZ0332_ChemicalParametersVMC.332.353mySQLVermont Wetlands Bioassessment program: An Evaluation of the Chemical, Physical, and Biological Characteristics of Seasonal Pools and Northern White Cedar Swamps.
