Everglades Vulnerability Analysis (EVA) GIS Library
September 26, 2025
The Everglades Vulnerability Analysis (EVA) is a series of connected, modular Bayesian networks that predict the response of several Everglades indicators of ecosystem health to changes in hydrology, salinity, and the landscape. EVA produces spatial explicit model outputs, and we created and compiled shapefiles to: 1) delineate boundaries that are relevant to the EVA project and 2) restrict the model output to display only in natural areas - removing the urban areas of south Florida east of the Everglades.

The Everglades vulnerability analysis: Linking ecological models to support ecosystem restoration The Everglades vulnerability analysis: Linking ecological models to support ecosystem restoration
Understanding of the Everglades’ ecological vulnerabilities and restoration needs has advanced over the past decade but has not been applied in an integrated manner. To address this need, we developed the Everglades Vulnerability Analysis (EVA), a decision support tool that uses modular Bayesian networks to predict the ecological outcomes of a subset of the ecosystem’s health indicators...
