|a The extreme southern 10% of peninsular Florida is, in many ways, a biologically
unique environment. The landscape is geologically young, the
topography is flat, and the climate is the most tropical of any part of
the continental U.S. The vegetation of the southwest portion is dominated
by mangrove forests, which occupy more area here than in all other
parts of the U.S. combined. The central portion is triangular, with its
apex pointed south. It is covered by a mosaic of wetlands: glades,
prairies, marshes, and ponds. This area is dominated by herbaceous
vegetation, but forests--locally called tree islands, bayheads, strands,
hammocks, and domes--are interspersed throughout. The third portion is
South Florida's "mountainousn region: the Miami Rock Ridge, which
sweeps along the southeast coast, and curves inland (and into the Everglades National Park) just before it reaches the southernmost extent of the peninsula. This ridge, composed primarily of oolitic limestone, never attains an altitude of 10 m above sea level. The Miami Rock Ridge
was once dominated by pinelands interspersed with broadleaved forests called hammocks. Way, however, the Ridge is almost completely urbanized except along its western and southern fringes, where it is-used for agriculture: primarily production of winter vegetables. |
