Description:

Abstract:

This data release provides elevation distribution in the Plum Island Estuary and Parker River (PIEPR) salt marsh complex. Elevation distribution was calculated in terms of mean elevation of conceptual marsh units defined by Defne and Ganju (2018). The elevation data was based on the 1-meter gridded Digital Elevation Model and supplemented by 1-meter resampled 1/9 arc-second resolution National Elevation Data, where data gaps exist. Through scientific efforts initiated with the Hurricane Sandy Science Plan, the U.S. Geological Survey has been expanding national assessment of coastal change hazards and forecast products to coastal wetlands, including the Plum Island Estuary and Parker River salt marsh complex, with the intent of providing Federal, State, and local managers with tools to estimate the vulnerability and ecosystem service potential of these wetlands. For this purpose, the response and resilience of coastal wetlands to physical factors need to be assessed in terms of the ensuing change to their vulnerability and ecosystem services. Mean elevation of marsh units is planned to be an underlying parameter in the synthesis of these factors.

Purpose:

The purpose of this shapefile is to calculate mean elevation for each marsh unit and its vegetated component. Analysis of marsh elevation is planned to be a part of a comprehensive assessment to identify the factors and their weights in determining the vulnerability and resiliency of salt marshes.

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Marsh units, water and land boundary inherit their accuracy from accuracy of the source data, PIEPR marsh units and vertical accuracy determined by the source data NED.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

Positive elevation indicates above sea level. Marsh units with extremely low elevation (smaller than 0.2 percentile value), with extremely high elevation (larger than 99.8 percentile value) or with areas less than 900 square meters were flagged.

Completeness_Report:

The results are specific to the marsh polygons definition within the boundaries of the PIEPR salt marsh complex. A detailed on-the-ground analysis of a single site may result in a different interpretation of the wetland and marsh unit boundaries.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Horizontal accuracy is inherited from NED 1/9 second (~3-meter) and the 1-meter resolution USDA DEM from lidar. Although the analyses were performed at 1-meter resolution for smoother conformity with the clipping polygons, the resolution of the final product should be considered to be 1 to 3 meters. No quantitative assessment of horizontal accuracy of the source elevation dataset was available.

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Because the elevation values are averaged over previously delineated polygons, vertical accuracy depends on both the horizontal accuracy of PIEPR marsh units and the vertical accuracy of source elevation data NED and USDA DEM.

Used the features in [CMU_PIEPRp.shp] to calculate the mean elevation for each marsh unit. Projection was WGS 1984 Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

This process step and all subsequent process steps were performed by the same person, Zafer Defne, in ArcMap (ver. 10.5.1) using tools from ArcToolbox, unless otherwise stated. For complex operations, names of specific tools used are given in CAPITAL letters (any critical parameters used are given in parentheses, separated by a semicolon, immediately after the tool name). The input and output file names are provided in [square brackets] when necessary. Units for length and area calculations are meters (m) and square meters (m2) unless otherwise stated.
a) Set the data frame coordinate system and projection to NAD 1983 UTM Zone 19N. Prepare elevation dataset to be clipped to the boundaries polygon. MOSAIC TO NEW RASTER(Pixel type= 32 bit float; Mosaic operator=Mean; Cellsize=1 m) all of the USGS NED tiles and USDA DEM raster to a new raster dataset with 1 m resolution [elev_mosaic.tif]. Resolution is increased from 3 m to 1 m to have a finer representation of the polygon boundaries in the horizontal during this step.
b) Calculate values for each marsh unit. DISSOLVE(Input features=[CMU_PIEPRp]; Dissolve field=FID_CMU; Statistics field=ATOT_M2 and FLG with Statistics type= First) to dissolve the vegetated and unvegetated classes in each marsh unit. FLG flags anomalous marsh units based on absence of vegetation, elevation and surface area, and is set to (-1) no vegetated area; (-10) marsh unit elevation higher than the 99.8 percentile; (-100) marsh unit elevation less than 0.2 percentile; (-1000) marsh unit surface area less than 900 m2; and (0) no flag. Combination of negative values indicate combination of flags. For example, -1001 indicates no vegetated area and area less than 900m2. PROJECT(Input coordinate system=WGS 1984 Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere; Output coordinate system=NAD 1983 UTM Zone 19N; Geographic transformation=WGS 1984 (ITRF00) to NAD 1983) the feature dataset to obtain dissolved marsh units [mu_diss.shp].
c) Clip the raster with the polygon features by using EXTRACT BY MASK to obtain [elev_idw_mu.tif].
d) ZONAL STATISTICS AS TABLE(Feature Zone Data=[mu_diss.shp]; zone field=FID_CMU; Value Raster=[elev_idw_mu.tif]; Output Table=mu; Statistics type=MEAN)
e) ADD JOIN(Layer name=[mu_diss.shp]; Input join field=FID_CMU; Join Table=mu; Output join field=FID_CMU) to marsh units layer based on the "FID_CMU" field
f) Export dataset as a shapefile [mu_elev.shp] and keep the 'mu_MEAN" and "mu_ATOT_M2" fields from the join operation.
g) Calculate elevation of the vegetated areas only. SELECT BY ATTRIBUTES FROM [CMU_PIEPRp] where "CLASS"= 'vegetated'. Follow steps (c) to (f) using the selected features to export [veg_elev.shp].
h) JOIN FIELD(Input table=[mu_elev.shp]; Input join field=mu_FID_CMU; Join table=[veg_elev.shp]; Output join field=vg_FID_CMU; Join fields=vg_AVEG_M2,vg_ATOT_M2,vg_MEAN). Change the field names to VG_ELEV and MU_ELEV respectively for the fields with the mean elevation for the vegetated area only and mean elevation for the entire marsh unit. Name AVEG_M2 and ATOT_M2 for vegetated and total area, respectively, and export to a new shapefile. [mu_elev_PIEPR.shp].
i) SELECT BY ATTRIBUTES FROM [CMU_PIEPRp] where "CLASS"= 'vegetated', and join field "APGN_M2" from CMU_PIEPRp.shp on the feature dataset [mu_elev_PIEPR.shp].
j) Rearrange field names and change the projection for better performance of web services with online base maps. PROJECT(Input coordinate system=NAD 1983 UTM Zone 19N; Output coordinate system=WGS 1984 Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere; Geographic transformation=WGS 1984 (ITRF00) to NAD 1983) the feature dataset to obtain the final conceptual marsh units [mu_elev_PIEPRp.shp].

Overview_Description:

Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:

In this dataset, mean elevation for each conceptual salt marsh unit in the PIEPR salt marsh complex has been calculated based on the1-meter resolution DEM and 1-meter resampled 1/9 arc-second horizontal resolution source datasets. Decimal values in the attribute table are a result of double precision calculations while significant digits are considered in defining the attribute measurement resolutions. Therefore, the smallest unit increment for area values and elevation is assumed to be 1 meter and 0.01, respectively.
