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 Vascular Plants and Bryophytes Rooted in Vernal Pools1999-01-012000-12-31Percent cover of rooted plants in vernal poolsTo assess chemical, physical, and biological characteristics of seasonal pools and northern white cedar swampsZ0332_PercentCoverRootedVMC.332.355mySQLEric Sorenson. 2000.
