|a Hydrologic modifications have negatively impacted the Florida Everglades in numerous
significant ways. The compartmentalization of the once continuously flowing system into the
Water Conservation Areas (WCAs) caused disruption of the slow natural flow of water south
from Lake Okeechobee through the Everglades to Florida Bay. The ponding of water in the
WCAs, the linking of water flow to controlled water levels, and the management of water levels
for anthropogenic vs. ecological well-being has caused a reduction in the spatial heterogeneity of
the Everglades leading to greater uniformity in topography and vegetation. These effects are
noticeable as the degradation in structure of the Everglades Ridge and Slough environment and
associated Tree Islands. Information gained
through this project will help to reduce the uncertainty of predicting the tree island and ridge and
slough ecosystem response to changes in hydrologic conditions. Additionally, we have
developed the LILA site as a visual example of Everglades restoration programs in action. |
