Use of hydrologic and hydrodynamic modeling for ecosystem restoration Use of hydrologic and hydrodynamic modeling for ecosystem restoration
Planning and implementation of unprecedented projects for restoring the greater Everglades ecosystem are underway and the hydrologic and hydrodynamic modeling of restoration alternatives has become essential for success of restoration efforts. In view of the complex nature of the South Florida water resources system, regional-scale (system-wide) hydrologic models have been developed and...

Controls on mangrove forest‐atmosphere carbon dioxide exchanges in western Everglades National Park Controls on mangrove forest‐atmosphere carbon dioxide exchanges in western Everglades National Park
We report on net ecosystem production (NEP) and key environmental controls on net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of carbon dioxide (CO2) between a mangrove forest and the atmosphere in the coastal Florida Everglades. An eddy covariance system deployed above the canopy was used to determine NEE during January 2004 through August 2005. Maximum daytime NEE ranged from −20 to −25 μmol (CO2) m−2 s...

Mangrove forest recovery in the Everglades following Hurricane Wilma Mangrove forest recovery in the Everglades following Hurricane Wilma
On October 24th, 2005, Hurricane Wilma made landfall on the south western shore of the Florida peninsula. This major disturbance destroyed approximately 30 percent of the mangrove forests in the area. However, the damage to the ecosystem following the hurricane provided researchers at the Florida Coastal Everglades (FCE) LTER site with the rare opportunity to track the recovery process...

An approach to understanding hydrologic connectivity on the hillslope and the implications for nutrient transport An approach to understanding hydrologic connectivity on the hillslope and the implications for nutrient transport
Hydrologic processes control much of the export of organic matter and nutrients from the land surface. It is the variability of these hydrologic processes that produces variable patterns of nutrient transport in both space and time. In this paper, we explore how hydrologic “connectivity” potentially affects nutrient transport. Hydrologic connectivity is defined as the condition by which...
