BH015_S
|
Definition:

and mainly stagnant fresh water.

Description:
It is generally too soft to bear the weight of any heavy body. A subtype of the more
generalized Feature: 'Wetland'.

|
Definition:
|
The type of a bog or fen based on its morphology and/or dominant vegetation.
|
Description:
|
A fen is similar to a bog but may have alkaline, neutral, or only slightly acid peaty
soil whereas a bog is generally very acidic. In both cases the vegetation is usually
dominated by peat mosses, ericaceous shrubs, and sedges.

palsaBog
|
1
A bog consisting of a mound or ridge of peat covered with vegetation and containing
a core of frozen peat or mineral soil in which are numerous ice lenses.
A landform of subarctic regions.
|
stringBog
|
2
A bog characterized by a pattern of narrow (2 to 3 metre wide), low (less than 1 metre
high) ridges oriented at right angles to the direction of drainage with wet depressions
or pools occurring between the ridges.
The water and peat are very low in nutrients because the water has been derived from
other ombrotrophic wetlands. The peat thickness is greater than 1 metre.
|
atlanticPlateauBog
|
3
A bog with a flat to undulating surface raised above the surrounding terrain and whose
edges commonly slope steeply downwards to the mineral soil terrain.
Large pools scattered on the bog may reach depths of 2 to 4 metre.
|
basinBog
|
4
A bog situated in a basin with essentially closed drainage which receives water from
precipitation and runoff from the immediate surroundings.
The surface of the bog is flat with peat generally deepest at the centre.
|
blanketBog
|
6
A bog consisting of extensive peat deposits that occur more or less uniformly over
gently sloping hills and valleys.
The peat thickness is usually less than 2 metres.
|
cranberryBog
|
7
A man-made bog used for the farming of cranberries, heavily watered (2-3 centimetres
per week) during the growing season and generally flooded during the winter season
and for berry harvesting.
For construction utilizing an existing peat bog the site is ditched to drain the peat
and the tops of the bogs are scraped level and then covered with a 3 to 6 inch layer
of coarse sand. Upland sites typically range from sandy sites with a naturally high
water table, to impermeable clay based sites with no natural water table.
|
domedBog
|
8
A large bog (diameter usually greater than 500 metres) with a convex surface rising
several metres above the surrounding terrain whose centre usually drains in all directions.
Small crescentic pools commonly form around the highest point; a concentric pattern
is formed if the highest point is in the centre, while an eccentric pattern is formed
if the highest point is off-centre. The peat thickness is usually greater than 3 metres.
|
fen
|
9
A fen whose morphology and/or dominant vegetation has not been determined.
A fen is similar to a bog but may have alkaline, neutral, or only slightly acid peaty
soil whereas a bog is generally very acidic.
|
flatBog
|
10
A bog having a flat, featureless surface and occurring in broad, poorly defined depressions.
The depth of peat is generally uniform.
|
horizontalFen
|
11
A fen with a gently sloping, featureless surface occupying broad, often ill-defined
depressions and potentially interconnecting with other fens.
The depth of peat is generally uniform.
|
lowlandPolygonBog
|
12
A bog with flat-topped or convex peat surfaces (often referred to as 'high-centre
polygons') separated by trenches over ice wedges that form a polygonal pattern when
viewed from above.
The peat was deposited in a permafrost environment as shown by internal structures.
|
northernRibbedFen
|
13
A fen with parallel, low peat ridges ('strings') alternating with wet hollows or shallow
pools, oriented across the major slope at right angles to water movement.
The depth of peat is greater than 1 metre.
|
peatBog
|
14
A bog whose morphology and/or dominant vegetation has not been determined.
|
peatPlateauBog
|
15
A bog composed of perennially frozen peat rising abruptly about 1 metre from the surrounding
unfrozen fen and whose surface is relatively flat and even.
It commonly covers large areas. The peat was originally deposited in a nonpermafrost
environment and is associated in many places with collapse scar bogs or fens.
|
polygonalPeatPlateauBog
|
16
A perennially frozen bog rising approximately 1 metre above the surrounding fen and
whose surface is relatively flat, scored by a polygonal pattern of trenches that developed
over ice wedges.
The permafrost and ice wedges developed in peat originally deposited in a nonpermafrost
environment.
|
shoreFen
|
17
A fen with an anchored surface mat that forms the shore of a pond or lake.
The rooting zone is affected by the water of the lake at both normal and flood levels.
|
slopeBog
|
18
A bog occurring in areas of high rainfall on appreciably sloping land surfaces, being
fed by rainwater and by water draining from other nutrient-poor peatlands.
The peat thickness may exceed 1 metre.
|
slopeFen
|
19
A fen occurring mainly on slow-draining, nutrient-enriched seepage slopes on which
pools are usually absent, but wet seepage tracks may occur.
The peat thickness is usually less than 2 metres.
|
veneerBog
|
20
A bog occurring on gently sloping terrain underlain by generally discontinuous permafrost
with drainage predominantly below the surface.
Overland flow occurs in poorly defined drainways during peak runoff. The peat thickness
is usually less than 1.5 metres.

deepDepthBelowSurfLevel

Title:

DZP
|
Definition:
|
The distance measured from ground or water level (uphill/upstream side of the feature)
to the deepest point of the feature.
|
Description:
|
May be used to measure the depth of an inland waterbody (for example: a lake), the
depth of a terrain surface depression or excavation (for example: a crevice or trench),
the distance to the deepest point of a drilled feature (for example: a water well
or borehole) or the distance to the deepest point of a feature located entirely underground
(for example: a cave chamber). In the case of a feature located below a waterbody
(for example: a non-water well) the reference surface is the waterbody bottom, rather
than the waterbody surface.

Definition:

The vertical distance from a specified vertical datum to the terrain surface of or
at the base of the feature.
|
Description:
|
If the feature is not supported above the surface by another feature then the base
of the feature is usually located at ground or water level on the downhill/downstream
side. For non-inland water bodies, the water level is usually understood to be Mean
Sea Level (MSL). In the case of a survey marker (monument) this is usually the elevation
assigned to the marker (monument).

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO 639-3) three character code
that designates the language or macrolanguage of the source of a geographic name.
|
Description:
|
A macrolanguage is a set of closely related language varieties (dialects) that generally
have a common linguistic identity and a common written form; this may occur when there
is a transitional socio-linguistic situation in which sub-communities of a single
language community are diverging. The language of the geographic name source should
be distinguished from the language of origin or etymology of a geographic name; for
example, considering the place name 'San Jose, California' the language of the source
of this geographic name may be English if it is determined from a United States map,
regardless of the fact that this geographic name means 'St. Joseph, California' in
Spanish.
