|a In the southern Everglades, vegetation in both the marl prairie and ridge and slough landscapes is
sensitive to large-scale restoration activities associated with the Comprehensive Everglades
Restoration Plan (CERP) authorized by the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) 2000 to
restore the south Florida ecosystem. More specifically, changes in hydrologic regimes at both
local and landscape scales are likely to affect vegetation composition along marl prairie-slough
gradient resulting in a shift in boundary between plant communities in these landscapes. To
strengthen our ability to assess how vegetation would respond to changes in underlying
ecosystem drivers along the gradient, an improved understanding of reference conditions of plant
community structure and function, and their responses to major stressors is important. In this
regard, a study of vegetation structure and composition in relation to physical and biological
processes along the marl prairie-slough gradient was initiated in 2005, and has continued through
2012 with funding from US Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE) (Cooperative Agreement #
W912HZ-09-2-0018 Modification No.: P00002). This study addresses the hypothesis with
respect to RECOVER-MAP monitoring item 3.1.3.5 – “Marl Prairie/Slough Gradients; patterns
and trends in Shark Slough marshes and associated marl prairies”. |
