Glossary Active recreation - recreational activities requiring equipment, facilities or a degree of energy. Archeological - pertaining to the study of the material remains of past human life and activities. Bathhouse - buildings located at swimming areas for clothes changing and toilet use. Bog iron - mineral formed in swamps and shallow lakes when water deposits iron oxide between the inorganic bottom surface and layers of decaying plants. Bog iron furnace - a furnace used to concentrate iron from bogs by burning off the organic material. Camping area - areas containing a varied number of campsites. Canopy - the overhead covering of trees. Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) - the U.S. civilian labor force initiated during the 1930s (the Great Depression). The CCC planted trees and built roads, trails, recreation areas and buildings in Massachusetts forests and parks. Coastal Plain Pondshore Community - seasonal and long-term fluctuations in the water table regularly expose and inundate portions of the pond margins. The assemblage of plants that exist in this fluctuating environment is known as the Coastal Plain Pondshore Community. This community is listed as priority habitat for rare and endangered species by the Massachusetts Natural Heritage Endangered Species Program (NHESP). Comfort station - buildings providing men‘s and women‘s toilets. Commercial thinning - an intermediate cut in the main forest stand designed to enhance the growth and quality of crop trees. The cut material is large enough or of such quality as to be saleable under normal market conditions. Contact station - building set aside for liason between DCR staff and park users. Cottages - privately-owned buildings located on state-owned land. Cutin - an insoluble mixture containing waxes, fatty acids, soaps and resinous material that forms a continuous layer on the outer wall of a plant. Day use area - recreational areas that are set aside for use during daylight hours only. Defoliation - the removal of leaves from a plant, usually caused by leaf eating insects. Deposition - the act or process of laying down layers of sediments. Droughty - not being able to hold water very long and therefore drying up quickly. Drumlin - elongated or oval hill of glacial deposits. Easement - a right to use land of another owner for a specific limited use. Ecosystem - a biological community and its environment consisting of all the organisms living in a particular area, as well as all non-living components of the environment with which the organisms interact, such as air, soil, water and sunlight. Ecoregion (i.e., ecological region) - an extensive landscape with similar geology, physiology, vegetation, climate and land use history. Eutrophic - a body of water in which the increase of mineral and organic nutrients has reduced the dissolved oxygen, producing an environment that favors plant over animal life. Extinct - plant or animal species that have been completely eliminated from the earth. Extirpated - plant or animal species that have been eliminated from a specific location or range. 102 Appendix B. Glossary (Continued) Fire access road - any road providing access for fire-fighting vehicles to a forested area for the prevention, detection or suppression of fires. Frost pocket - a depression that will become colder in relation to surrounding uplands due to the normal sinking or down-slope flow of cold air. Game - those animal species that are hunted, trapped or fished for sport. Geology - the science that deals with the history and structure of the earth as recorded in rocks. Glacial - produced by a glacier, a large mass of ice that moved down a slope or spreads over a land surface. Glacial till - unsorted, non-stratified
