|a The work on CERP monitoring item 3.1.3.5 (Marl prairie/slough gradients) is being conducted
by Florida International University (Dr Michael Ross, Project Leader), with Everglades National
Park (Dr. Craig Smith) providing administrative support and technical consultation. As of
January 2006 the funds transferred by ACOE to ENP, and subsequently to FIU, have been
entirely expended or encumbered in salaries or wages. The project work for 2005 started rather
late in the fiscal year, but ultimately accomplished the Year 1 goals of securing a permit to
conduct the research in Everglades National Park, finalizing a detailed scope of work, and
sampling marsh sites which are most easily accessed during the wet season. 46 plots were
sampled in detail, and a preliminary vegetation classification distinguished three groups among
these sites (Sawgrass marsh, sawgrass and other, and slough) which may be arranged roughly
along a hydrologic gradient from least to most persistently inundated . We also made coarser
observations of vegetation type at 5-m intervals along 2 transects totaling ~ 5 km. When these
data were compared with similar observations made in 1998-99, it appeared that vegetation in
the western portion of Northeast Shark Slough (immediately east of the L-67 extension) had
shifted toward a more hydric type during the last 6 years, while vegetation further east was
unchanged in this respect. Because this classification and trend analysis is based on a small
fraction of the data set that will be available after the first cycle of sampling (3 years from now),
the results should not be interpreted too expansively. However, they do demonstrate the
potential for gaining a more comprehensive view of marsh vegetation structure and dynamics in
the Everglades, and will provide a sound basis for adaptive management. |
