This datalayer is part of a group of layers used for research in the Ipswich River Watershed. This layer was created in July 2006 for Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole. This layer shows the boundaries for the towns in the Ipswich River Watershed and the Parker River Watershed. This data layer was created so that the town boundaries would correspond to the boundaries of the corresponding land use maps. This datalayer has complete information. Display town boundaries for the study area.

In ArcMap, towns within our study area were selected from LANDUSE and a new layer was created from this selection. Towns were selected by attribute, based on their Town_ID code. The following Town_IDs were selected: 9, 30, 31, 38, 48, 71, 92, 105, 116, 119, 144, 164, 184, 205, 206, 210, 213, 229, 246, 254, 295, 320, 298, 324, 342, and 347. The selected features were then exported as a new layer, TOWNSFROMLU. The land use map of the study area was imported into Idrisi Kiliminjaro and converted to a raster file. After importing TOWNSFROMLU, the data base file was opened and the field TILE_NAME was exported to a raster image. The map was reclassified so that the towns were assigned numbers from 1 to 26, replacing the previous values, which ranged from 9 to 347.   Process_Date: 200607   Information relevant to the GIS data encoding This layer identifies town boundariesHorizontal Coordinate System Name:NAD 1983 StatePlane Massachusetts Mainland FIPS 2001 Datum: D North American 1983 Reference Ellipsoid: Name: GRS 1980 Semi Axis: 6378137.0 Meridian: Greenwich Projection Name : Lambert Conformal Conic Number of bands : 1 Raster Origin : Lower Left Rows : 1152 Columns : 1692 Cell Geometry :pixel

The principal study site is the Plum Island Sound estuary, its coupled Parker, Rowley and Ipswich River watersheds and the adjacent coastal ocean, the Gulf of Maine. Humans are altering the ecosystems of the world at rates not previously experienced. Understanding and predicting how multiple stresses affect the sustainability of ecosystems is one of the most crucial challenges in environmental biology. The PIE LTER focuses on how several aspects of global change influence organic matter and inorganic nutrient biogeochemistry and estuarine foodwebs. The inputs of organic matter and nutrients from land, ocean and marshes interact with the external drivers (climate, land use, river discharge, sea level) to dictate the extent and degree of nutrient and organic matter processing and determine the spatial patterns of estuarine productivity and trophic structure. The overarching question is: How will trophic structure and primary and secondary productivity in estuaries be affected by changes in organic matter and nutrient loading and hydrodynamics caused by changing land use, climate and sea level?
