Hydrology, Sedimentology, and Biology of Ellison Park Wetland at the Mouth ofIrondequoit Creek Near Rochester, New York

摘要

This report documents the hydrologic, sedimentological, and biologicalcharacteristics of the Ellison Park wetland. The report (1) summarizes water-surface-elevation and streamflow data; chemical quality of surface water, ground water, and atmospheric deposition; and traveltime and patterns of flow dispersal through the wetland, and (2) presents stream-sediment particle-size analyses, estimated sedimentation rates, and sediment-quality data. It also discusses results of studies of flora and selected fauna and includes an appendix containing presents chemical data for surface water, ground water, and atmospheric deposition are given in the appendix.
