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...

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...

Measuring and mapping the topography of the Florida Everglades for ecosystem restoration Measuring and mapping the topography of the Florida Everglades for ecosystem restoration
One of the major issues facing ecosystem restoration and management of the Greater Everglades is the availability and distribution of clean, fresh water. The South Florida ecosystem encompasses an area of approximately 28,000 square kilometers and supports a human population that exceeds 5 million and is continuing to grow. The natural systems of the Kissimmee-Okeechobee-Everglades...

Tree islands of the Florida Everglades - A disappearing resource Tree islands of the Florida Everglades - A disappearing resource
Until recently, the timing and cause of tree island formation have been poorly understood, with estimates of initial tree-island development as early as thousands of years ago to as recently as the last few decades. To increase our knowledge about the origins of these features, sediment cores were collected on and around tree islands. These cores were dated using radioisotopic techniques

Ecosystem history of southern and central Biscayne Bay: Summary report on sediment core analyses Ecosystem history of southern and central Biscayne Bay: Summary report on sediment core analyses
During the last century, the environs of Biscayne Bay have been greatly affected by anthropogenic alteration through urbanization of the Miami/Dade County area. The sources, timing, delivery, and quality of freshwater flow into the Bay have been changed by construction of a complex canal system that controls movement of water throughout south Florida. Changes in shoreline and sub-aquatic

Hydrostratigraphy of tree island cores from Water Conservation Area 3 Hydrostratigraphy of tree island cores from Water Conservation Area 3
Cores and borehole-geophysical logs collected on and around two tree islands in Water Conservation Area 3 have been examined to develop a stratigraphic framework for these ecosystems. Especially important is the potential for the exchange of ground water and surface water within these features. The hydrostratigraphic results from this study document the lithologic nature of the...

Helicopter electromagnetic data from Everglades National Park and surrounding areas, Florida: Collected 9-14 December 1994 Helicopter electromagnetic data from Everglades National Park and surrounding areas, Florida: Collected 9-14 December 1994
This report describes helicopter electromagnetic (HEM) data that were collected over portion of Everglades National Park and surrounding areas in south Florida. The survey was flown 9-14 December 1994. The original data set processed by the contractor, Dighem, are provided as an ASCII, xyz flight-line file. Apparent resistivity grids of the generated from the original data set and JPEG...
