Abstract

Computer-generated maps (SYMAP, Harvard) of seasonal groundwater fluctuations for two New Jersey swamp forests, a red maple (Acer rubrum) swamp and an Atlantic white cedar (Chamaecyparis thyoides) swamp, are presented. Notable differences exist in water table behavior for the two swamp forests and are best accounted for by topographic differences. Other factors examined which might affect the hydrologic differences include vegetation and subsurface geologic differences.
