|a Within Big Cypress National Preserve (BICY), oak-dominated forests and woodlands as well as
tropical and temperate hardwood hammocks are integral components of the landscape and are
biodiversity hotpots for both flora and fauna. These broadleaved forest communities serve as
refugia for many of the Preserve’s wildlife species during prolonged flooding and fires.
However, both prolonged flooding and severe fires, which are important and necessary
disturbance vectors within this landscape, can have deleterious effects on these forested
communities. This is particularly true in the case of fires, which under extreme conditions
associated with drought and elevated fuel loads, can burn through these forested communities
consuming litter and understory vegetation and top killing most, if not all, of the trees present.
