Descriptive InformationThe Cape Sable seaside sparrow (CSSS), a federally endangered species, has remained
the focus of several water management operations in the Everglades. To monitor vegetation
responses to changes in hydrologic regime and fire events within the sparrow habitat, FIU-USGS
researchers initiated a vegetation study in 2002 with funding from U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE). In the first three years (2003-2005), a detailed account of spatial variation in
vegetation composition and structure in relation to hydrology and fire history were documented
(Ross et al. 2006). Since 2006, sub-sets of sites in each of six sparrow sub-populations (A-F)
have been re-visited annually to address the spatio-temporal changes in vegetation in response to
fire events and changes in hydrologic regime. The sub-set sampled each year includes both
unburned and burned sites.
