Presents a study aimed at comparing the hydrodynamics and biodynamics of selected residential canals in South Florida and drawing conclusions regarding the water quality in those canals. Sunfish Cove and Cobia Bay in Punta Gorda, Bangsberg W. And Severin Canal in Port Charlotte, North Canal and South Canal near the Loxahatchee River, and North Canal in South Canal near Pompano Beach were studied. Maps, charts, and tables are included. Site descriptions, hydrographic field data, hydrographic...

Site descriptions, hydrographic field data, hydrographic analysis, canal flushing, and numerical modeling of pollutant transport in dead end canals are addressed. Bathymetry data, tidal data, and preliminary calculations of exchange volumes, exchange ratios, and minimum residence times are appended.

Title

The Role of Mangrove Ecosystems: Biomass Determinations in Shallow Estuaries : Technique Evaluation and Preliminary Data.
-
Name/Creator
-
Seaman, William., Adams, Clayton A., Snedaker, Samuel C., University of Florida, United States
-
Abstract/Description
-
A new type of portable drop net was developed and used to quantitatively harvest fishes from sample areas in shallow estauaries. The technique is shown to be suitable for sedentary benthic and vegetation-inhabiting fishes, including eels, gobies, gerreids, syngathids, and juvenile pinfish, sciaenids, and flat fishes. The technique and preliminary results are evaluated and compared with reports in the literature describing techniques to estimate fish biomass.

The Role of Mangrove Ecosystems: Diurnal Rates of Photosynthesis, Respiration and Transpiration in Mangrove Forests of South Florida.

Name/Creator

Lugo, Ariel E., University of Florida, United States
-
Abstract/Description
-
Measurements of carbon dioxide exchange and transpiration were made on four south Florida mangrove-forest tree species at Rookery Bay, Florida. The species were studied by compartment (trunks, prop roots, pneumatophores, seedlings, and shade and sun leaves) during two study periods: August 1971 and January-February 1972. Data obtained from the gas exchange studies suggest a metabolic basis for the zonation of the four mangrove species.

Abstract/Description
-
The objectives of this study were to: 1) record total quantity of leaf, branch, twig, and wood fall on an annual basis to determine annual production of leaves and turnover time, and to determine cyclic patterns of leaf fall of various tree species found in mangrove forests; 2) determine chemical composition of litter material to estimate the quantity of nutrients recycled in-situ, sequestered in a reduced state or exported to an adjoining ecosystem; 3) monitor the quantity and quality of...
