Abstract
Abstract. The St. Denis National Wildlife Area is located in the seasonally
frozen and semi-arid Canadian Prairies, close to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
The site has a hummocky terrain and is underlain by clay-rich glacial tills.
Though the site is only 4 km2 it contains hundreds of wetlands
containing ponds which range in size, in permanence (from ephemeral to
permanent), and in their interactions with groundwater (recharge and
discharge ponds are present). The site was established as a research area in
1968 and has long-term records of hydrological observations, including
meteorological, snow, soil moisture, surface water (ponds) and groundwater
data. Some records, notably the pond level and chemistry data, span the
period 1968 to present. Other datasets, notably water level observations
from networks of piezometers, have been collected sporadically at different
locations and times. Some datasets are collected manually on an annual
basis, including pond surveys and snow surveys. Meteorological data have
been collected by automatic weather stations since 1989 and have been
maintained and upgraded over time, with a flux tower added to the site in
2011. Automatically logged soil moisture profiles and collocated piezometers
have been running since 2013. A lidar survey from 2005 provides a 1 m
resolution digital elevation map (DEM) of the site and surrounding
landscape. The compiled data are available at https://doi.org/10.20383/101.0115 (Bam et al., 2018).
