Study sites for evaluating ultraviolet (UV) radiation attenuation in wetlands in Acadia National Park, Maine (uvdosim2000)
Ballenger L. 2000. Study sites for evaluating ultraviolet (UV) radiation attenuation in wetlands in Acadia National Park, Maine (uvdosim2000). Liz Ballenger and Becky Chalmers
Coverage containing points (30) which represent sites in wetlands where UV radiation measurement was performed as part of a research project at Acadia National Park, Maine. Study was part of PRIMENet research conducted in national parks, funded by the NPS and the EPA. Experimental treatments implicated UV-B as a stressor that can affect reproduction and development of some amphibian species. This study collected these data: UV extinction using a handheld radiometer, water samples (for dissolved organic carbon [DOC]), and habitat characteristics. Data to be used, with amphibian data and Brewer spectrophotometer data, to extrapolate exposure along elevation gradients.
