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 poolsPercent Cover of All Vascular Plants and Bryophytes in Vernal Pools1999-01-012000-12-31Total percent vegetative cover in vernal poolsTo assess chemical, physical, and biological characteristics of seasonal pools and northern white cedar swampsZ0332_PercentCoverAllVMC.332.354mySQLEric Sorenson. 2000.
