Marl Prairie/Slough Gradients; Patterns and Trends in Shark Slough and Adjacent Marl Prairies (CERP monitoring activity 3.1.3.5), First Annual Report (2005)Three major achievements of the Marl prairie/slough gradient project in 2005 were: (1) to gain
permits for sampling within Everglades National Park (ENP) and Big Cypress National Preserve
(BCNP), (2) to complete a detailed sampling plan for the 3-year duration of the project,
including Shark Slough sites to be sampled during wet season and marl prairie locations to be
sampled during dry season, and (3) to sample Year 1 wet season sites and begin to build an
historical interpretation of the sampling domain in ENP and BCNP. This document reports on
each of those activities in turn.

Memorandum Report on Surface Water Availability in the Caloosahatchee Basin; Surface water availability in the Caloosahatchee Basin.58 p. : ill., maps ; 28 cm.; "September 1974."; The main purpose of this 1974 report is to identify, quantify and evaluate the hydrologic constraints operating in the Caloosahatchee Basin which have a bearing on surface water allocations for salinity control and for irrigation and navigational uses. A corollary purpose is the establishment of minimum flows from S-79 (Franklin Lock and Dam) to the estuarine areas. Recommendations are made concerning guidelines for evaluating new surface water withdrawal permits; treatment of existing valid surface water withdrawal permits; guidelines for salinity control in the reach between S-79 and S-78; minimum discharges to the estuary from S-79; and guidelines for water supply operations for the Caloosahatchee Basin.; (Ownership) Florida Collection, Government Documents, Green Library, Florida International University

Monitoring of Tree Island Condition in the Southern Everglades: Annual Report 2011Changes in hydrologic regimes at both local and landscape scale are likely to affect the internal water economy of the islands, which in turn will influence plant community structure and function. To strengthen our ability to assess the “performance” of tree island ecosystems and predict how these hydrologic alterations would translate into ecosystem response, an improved understanding of reference conditions of vegetation structure and function, and their responses to major stressors is important. In this regard, a study of vegetation structure and composition and associated biological processes was initiated in FY2005 with initial funding from Everglades National Park and South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), and has been continued through FY2011 with funding from US Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE).
Monitoring of Tree Island Condition in the Southern Everglades: Hydrologic Driven Decadal Changes in Tree Island Woody Vegetation Structure and Composition: 2012 Annual ReportThis report examines the interaction between hydrology and vegetation over a 10-year period, between 2001/02 and 2012 within six permanent tree island plots located on three tree islands, two plots each per tree island, established in 2001/02, along a hydrologic and productivity gradient. We hypothesize that: (H1) hydrologic differences within plots between census dates will result in marked differences in a) tree and sapling densities, b) tree basal area, and c) forest structure, i.e., canopy volume and height, and (H2) tree island growth, development, and succession is dependent on hydrologic fluxes, particularly during periods of prolonged droughts or below average hydroperiods. The results reported herein reinforce the concept that tree islands are dynamic successional communities that expand and contract over time in response to variation in hydroperiod.

Musa Isle Fruit Farm (Miami), 1898-1905.In 1896, Otis Richardson planted a grove on the Miami River, near present-day 25th Avenue (Miami). His son, C. O. Richardson, soon took over, and ran the grove and a tropical preserves factory for some years after. The display in one of these photographs was at the first Dade County Fair, an annual fair sponsored by the Model Land Company to promote agriculture in South Florida, including on reclaimed Everglades land.; (Funding) Electronic reproduction.
