Vegetation survey and photointerpretation data for Metzger Marsh, OH, USA (1994-2022)
February 6, 2024
These datasets represent USGS-led coastal wetland vegetation survey and mapping efforts at Metzger Marsh, part of the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge (Ohio, USA) along the coast of western Lake Erie between 1994 and 2022. Vegetation quadrat data provide percent cover estimates per sampling quadrat and overall mean percent cover (MPC) values per species by vegetation type from 1994, and 1996-2010. Vegetation mapping (a.k.a., "photointerpretation") geospatial datasets provide full site cover visualizations and feature class information by vegetation type from 1994,1996-2002, and 2022.

We investigated wetland vegetation before, during, and after dike construction at the Metzger Marsh project in western Lake Erie, which was designed to restore a 300-ha wetland that had been degraded following the loss of a protective barrier beach. A dike was constructed in 1995 to replace the function of the eroded barrier beach, but it contained a water-control structure to allow...
