Abstract:
The Pincrest study area is the second to be investigated in a network of five study areas selected to encompass the ecological variation of the Big Cypress National Preserve. Studies of the plant ecology of these areas are aimed at providing necessary baseline information for long-term management of the Preserve by the National Park Service. Emphasis is upon documenting current species composition of representative, relocatable examples of plant communities and upon determining relationships between plant species composition and environment - particularly the influence of water levels upon vegetation. The Pinecrest study area is located in the southeastern portion of the Preserve. It is part of the region designated by Craighead (1971) as the "Hammock and Cypress Ridge", the region that forms the western rim of the Everglades physiographic unit. ( English )
