|a In the current managed Everglades system, the pre-drainage, patterned mosaic of sawgrass
ridges, sloughs and tree islands has been substantially altered or reduced largely as a result of
human alterations to historic ecological and hydrological processes that sustained landscape
patterns. The pre-compartmentalization ridge and slough landscape was a mosaic of sloughs,
elongated sawgrass ridges (50-200m wide), and tree islands. The ridges and sloughs and tree
islands were elongated in the direction of the water flow, with roughly equal area of ridge and
slough. Over the past decades, the ridge-slough topographic relief and spatial patterning have
degraded in many areas of the Everglades. Nutrient enriched areas have become dominated by
Typha with little topographic relief; areas of reduced flow have lost the elongated ridge-slough
topography; and ponded areas with excessively long hydroperiods have experienced a decline in
ridge prevalence and shape, and in the number of tree islands (Sklar et al. 2004, Ogden 2005). |
