    • Environmental data collected at piezometer field plot locations used to study hydrologic impacts on vegetation due to historic rail road embankment at Canaan Valley NWR

    Metadata Updated: January 20, 2026

    This data represents environmental attributes collected at or around field sample locations (groundwater piezometers or water wells) that were used in a study of impacts from a historic railroad embankment on wetland vegetation. GPS surveys were used to map piezometer locations, elevations, and the elevation of the ground surface in proximity to the piezometer. Water surface elevations and peat depths were measured in the field at the piezometers. Piezometer locations were also used to center a 20m x 20m vegetation survey field plot from which attributes on mean surface elevations and vegetation heights were summarized using lidar data.
