Alternate Identifier:DOI PLACE HOLDER
Abstract:

Wetlands provide essential ecosystem services, including nutrient cycling, flood protection, and biodiversity support, that are sensitive to changes in wetland hydrology. Wetland hydrological inputs come from precipitation, groundwater discharge, and surface run-off. Changes to these inputs via climate variation, groundwater extraction, and land development may alter the timing and magnitude of wetland inundation. Data were compiled for 152 wetlands in west-central Florida over 14 years to investigate the response of wetland inundation to the interactive effects of precipitation, groundwater extraction, surrounding land development, basin geomorphology, and wetland vegetation class. Further methods are defined in the Methods section of the journal article associated with this dataset (Synergistic effects of precipitation and groundwater extraction on freshwater wetland inundation, published in the Journal of Environmental Management, 2023).

Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package
Description:

Methods are defined in the Methods section of the journal article associated with this dataset (Synergistic effects of precipitation and groundwater extraction on freshwater wetland inundation, published in the Journal of Environmental Management, 2023)

Step 1: Compiling Hydrological response variables

Wetland water-level data were provided by TBW for 152 wetlands from composite time series of both monitoring wells and staff gauges. From the wetland water-level data, three hydrological response variables were calculated: normal pool offset (NPO), wetland bottom offset (WBO), and annual hydroperiod. Normal pool offset is the wetland water-level elevation minus the historic normal pool elevation and reflects the proximity of a wetland to overflowing its banks (Figure S1). Wetland bottom offset is the water depth above the wetland bottom elevation. Annual average NPO and WBO were computed across all water-level observations each year for each wetland from 2005–2018 and used in subsequent analyses. Annual hydroperiod was calculated for each wetland as the proportion of time each year in which wetland water-level elevation was greater than the wetland bottom elevation (i.e., in which the wetland basin contained surface water).

Description:

Step 2: Hydrological predictor variables

Groundwater extraction data were provided by TBW and consisted of annual groundwater extraction rates for 176 extraction wells dispersed across the study area and in use from 2005–2018. To compute exposure to groundwater extraction for each wetland of interest, a raster of extrapolated groundwater extraction rates for the study area was created. This was done via inverse distance weighting in ArcGIS PRO 2.6.1 (Esri Inc., Redlands, California, USA). Once the extrapolated groundwater extraction rasters were created for each year, they were mapped along with a wetland polygon shapefile provided by SWFWMD in ArcGIS Pro. An average exposure to groundwater extraction measurement for each wetland was then determined based on the area that intersected with a wetland polygon for each year from 2005–2018. An exposure to groundwater extraction value of 0 was assigned to all wetlands located in the reference site, the Green Swamp Wilderness Preserve.

Precipitation estimates are available for the Tampa Bay region as a geospatial layer from the Tampa Bay Water Atlas, which compiles these estimates into 2 x 2 km grid cells from a combination of Doppler weather radar images and precipitation measurements provided by SWFWMD. To estimate annual precipitation for each wetland of interest, both the precipitation estimates and a wetland polygon shapefile provided by SWFWMD were mapped in ArcGIS Pro. An average precipitation measurement was then determined based on the area and value of each 2 x 2 km cell that intersected with a wetland polygon for each year from 2005–2018.

Description:

Step 3: Land development predictor variables

Two indicators of land development were calculated in 100 m, 200 m, and 500 m buffers surrounding each wetland: landscape development intensity (LDI) and impervious surface coverage (ISC).

Landscape development intensity index (LDI) was calculated from the Florida Land-Use Land-Cover geospatial datasets hosted by SWFWMD and is an index of human disturbance.

Impervious surface coverage is available as a geospatial layer from the Multi-Resolution Land Characteristics Consortium.

Both LDI and ISC were updated for each wetland every time new layers were released by their respective sources.

Description:

Step 4: Geomorphological predictor variables

Area, shoreline complexity, and the edge-to-area ratio were calculated using a wetland polygon shapefile created and provided by SWFWMD. Area is provided as part of the attribute table, while shoreline complexity was calculated as the ratio between wetland shape length and the circumference of a circle of the same area as the wetland. The edge-to-area ratio was calculated by dividing the shape length by the shape area, both provided as part of the attribute table.

Description:

Step 5: Wetland vegetation class

Five vegetation classes of wetlands were considered in this study including cypress, marsh, cypress-marsh, hardwood, and wet prairie wetlands. Wetland vegetation classes reported in this study were determined by SWFWMD and do not vary over the temporal extent of this study.
