Abstract:

This datalayer is part of a group of layers used for research in the Ipswich River Watershed. This datalayer was rasterized from the vector line data
set “ip30_hydrology”, a modified version of the hydrology layer available from MassGIS for the Ipswich Watershed. To be used to generate a
hydrologically corrected Digital Elevation Model, and to examine sampling site catchments or sub-watersheds within the Ipswich River Watershed.

Methods and Protocols

These methods, instrumentation and/or protocols apply to all data in this dataset:

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

Downloaded from MassGIS, imported into ArcView 3.2 as ArcView shapefiles.
Edited to simplify drainage within wetlands, and to match orthophotos of the watershed as provided on MassGIS. Edited data was imported into IDRISI format, and extended to the Ipswich study area window. This layer contains information only in those cells included inside the towns mask, therefore is consistent with all other “info” category maps.

Abstract: 

Human activities in rivers and watersheds have altered enormously the timing, magnitude and nature of inputs of materials such as water, sediments, nutrients and organic matter to estuaries. An important but neglected linkage between land and coastal waters is the input of dissolved and particulate organic carbon and organic nitrogen. This long-term ecological research (LTER) in land/ocean margin ecosystems will focus on the following question and hypotheses:
How will trophic structure and primary and secondary productivity in estuaries be affected by changes in organic matter, nutrient and water fluxes cause by changing land cover, climate and sea level?
Hypothesis 1. The interaction of inorganic nutrients with the quantity and quality of organic carbon and organic nitrogen plays an important role in determining the trophic structure, production and efficiency of estuarine food webs.
Hypothesis 2. The variability in land, ocean and atmospheric forcing is a key component determining the fate of allochthonous and autochthonous materials and the location and magnitude of primary and secondary production.
