Water quality in Big Cypress National Preserve and Everglades National Park — Trends and spatial characteristics of selected constituents Water quality in Big Cypress National Preserve and Everglades National Park — Trends and spatial characteristics of selected constituents
Seasonal changes in water levels and flows in Big Cypress National Preserve (BICY) and Everglades National Park (EVER) affect water quality. As water levels and flows decline during the dry season, physical, geochemical and biological processes increase the breakdown of organic materials and the build-up of organic waste, nutrients, and other constituents in the remaining surface water...

Anthropogenic and natural variation in ridge and slough pollen assemblages Anthropogenic and natural variation in ridge and slough pollen assemblages
We present pollen evidence documenting the response of sawgrass ridge and slough systems of the Florida Everglades to hydrologic changes during the last 3,500 years. Sediment cores and surface samples were collected in three transects across sawgrass ridges and sloughs in Water Conservation Area 3A to determine the age of the features, long-term variability in plant community composition

Surface-Water and Ground-Water Interactions in the Central Everglades, Florida Surface-Water and Ground-Water Interactions in the Central Everglades, Florida
Recharge and discharge are hydrological processes that cause Everglades surface water to be exchanged for subsurface water in the peat soil and the underlying sand and limestone aquifer. These interactions are thought to be important to water budgets, water quality, and ecology in the Everglades. Nonetheless, relatively few studies of surface water and ground water interactions have been...

Do adult Little Egrets respond to disturbance at their nest by increased breeding dispersal? Do adult Little Egrets respond to disturbance at their nest by increased breeding dispersal?
When studying breeding dispersal with marked individuals, manipulation-induced disturbance should not affect movement patterns. As part of a study on the Little Egret (Egretta garzetta), we tested whether the capture of breeding adults at their nest and handling (i.e., disturbance) increased their probability to move to a new colony in the subsequent breeding season (i.e., breeding...

An autonomous, electromagnetic seepage meter to study coastal groundwater/surface-water exchange An autonomous, electromagnetic seepage meter to study coastal groundwater/surface-water exchange
The bi-directional exchange of groundwater with coastal surface waters may influence not only coastal-water and geochemical budgets, but may also impact and direct coastal ecosystem change. For example, the widespread discharge of nutrient-enriched submarine groundwater into an estuary or lagoon may contribute directly to the onset and duration of eutrophication, as well as the...

Water flow and nutrient flux from five estuarine rivers along the southwest coast of the Everglades National Park, Florida, 1997-2001 Water flow and nutrient flux from five estuarine rivers along the southwest coast of the Everglades National Park, Florida, 1997-2001
Discharge and nutrient fluxes for five tidally affected streams were monitored and evaluated as a part of the U.S. Geological Survey Place-Based Studies Initiative and the U.S. Department of the Interior Critical Ecosystem Studies Initiative. Locations on Lostmans Creek, and Broad, Harney, Shark, and North Rivers were selected using the criterion that a large amount of the water that...
