Title: Mangrove Ecotone Vegetation Monitoring.
Abstract/Description: The Florida Coastal Everglades (FCE) LTER Program is part of the National Science Foundation's Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) Network . FCE research focuses on the Everglades ecotone where Inventory of Digital Libraries 38 freshwater meets saltwater along the Florida coast, a hotspot for sea level rise effects. FCE researchers study how hydrology, climate, and human activities affect ecosystem and population dynamics in the ecotone and, more broadly, the Florida coastal Everglades....
Show moreThe Florida Coastal Everglades (FCE) LTER Program is part of the National Science Foundation's Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) Network . FCE research focuses on the Everglades ecotone where Inventory of Digital Libraries 38 freshwater meets saltwater along the Florida coast, a hotspot for sea level rise effects. FCE researchers study how hydrology, climate, and human activities affect ecosystem and population dynamics in the ecotone and, more broadly, the Florida coastal Everglades. Daniel Gann and Jennifer Richards are providing a landscape context for some of this ongoing research in the southeastern coastal Everglades. Using WorldView-2 2x2 m pixel satellite imagery, supplemented by LIDAR data where available, they are mapping a 1-km-wide belt around six pre-existing, long-term nutrient- and salinity-monitoring transects that stretch from freshwater marshes in the north to mangrove mashes in the south, crossing the oligohaline ecotone. Vegetation class percent cover derived from these maps will be used to estimate vegetation biomass, relying on pre-existing and/or literature data for estimates of standing stock per unit area.

Data collection and analysis is an on-going long-term activity conducted by scientists of different disciplines at irregular intervals of several years. The data sets collected for 2005 include biogeo-chemical (including mercury and hydro period), fish, invertebrate, periphyton, and plant data. Each sampling site is associated with a location, a description of the site to provide a general overview and photographs to provide a pictorial impression. The Geographic Information Systems Center (GIS Center) at Florida International University (FIU) has designed and implemented an enterprise database for longterm storage of the project's data in a central repository, providing the framework of data storage for Inventory of Digital Libraries 41 the continuity of future sampling campaigns and allowing integration of new sample data as it becomes available. In addition GIS Center provides this interactive web application for easy, quick and effective retrieval and visualization of that data.

Show moreThe Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) September 2003 Certification Report recommended that the Miami-Dade Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) incorporate 'Sociocultural Effect' features in its planning process to ensure community values and concerns receive proper attention throughout the entire transportation development process. In response, the Miami-Dade MPO created the Community Characteristics Project (CCP) in order to review the social, economic, and geographic characteristics of an area before public involvement (PI) efforts are initiated. In 2010 the Broward and Palm Beach MPOs joined the program, and the CCP was renamed the "Transportation Outreach Planner". This web application has a suit of tools which help the managers and planner to make decisions relating to public outreach by providing an interactive demographic reporting tool, community background reports, and a set of public involvement strategy tools.

The digital archive supports research in a broad range of subjects: Florida and U.S. history, Spanish colonies, Native Americans, slavery, Inventory of Digital Libraries 39 exploration, architecture and urban planning, social and economic development, missionary work, military defenses and warfare. Over 25,000 photographs, maps, overlays of the city, architectural drawings, government records, transcriptions of key Spanish documents, and archaeology site summaries have been digitized, with a majority of them geo-located. The collection not only satisfies the needs of a wide variety of researchers including historians, archaeologists, architects, historic preservationists, and those in the digital humanities, but the project also helps in telling St. Augustine's unique "story" of colonial heritage on a global scale. FIU GIS Center partnered with UF libraries to create this interactive web interface for this digital archive collection.

Abstract/Description: The subtropical Pinus elliottii var. densa forests on limestone in Dade County, Florida, have a species-rich understory of tropical hardwoods, palms, and herbs. Fires prevent rapid conversion to hardwood forest. Paired wet season/dry season burns were conducted at two sites in Everglades National Park. Above ground understory biomass (vegetation and litter) and nutrients were measured immediately before and after, and at 2, 7, and 12 months after the four burns. The burns topkilled all the...

Show moreThe purpose of the present study was to determine the occurrence, distribution, and status of the eastern indigo snake in three National Park Service areas in southern Florida: Everglades National Park, Big Cypress National Preserve, and Biscayne National Park. We did this primarily by analyzing records of sightings in these areas. We also determined the distribution of the indigo snake in the Florida Keys. We include biological information on habitat use, seasonal variation in sightings, food habits, size,parasites, and sex ratio for snakes observed and examined in and adjacent to Everglades National Park.(from "Introduction")., The status and biology of the eastern indigo snake, Drymarchon corais couperi, the largest North American snake (Lawler, 1977), is poorly understood. Destruction of habitat and exploitation by the pet trade have reduced its population levels in various localities to the point that it is listed by the Federal government as a threatened species. Conant (1975) reported its range as southeast Georgia, peninsular Florida, and the lower keys, with disjunct populations in west Florida and southern Alabama. No specimens have been recorded in Alabama since 1954 (Neill, 1954), and it may now be extinct in that state (Mount, 1975). In southern Florida, the indigo snake has been reported to occur in several habitats, including dry Everglades marsh, tropical hammocks, and muckland fields (Carr, 1940).

Title: Effects of land use on surface-water quality in the East Everglades, Dade County, Florida.
Name/Creator: Waller, Bradley G., Geological Survey (U.S.), PALMM (Project), Metropolitan Dade County (Fla.)
Abstract/Description: Water quality characteristics were determined at five developed areas in the East Everglades, Dade County, Florida, during the 1978 wet season (June through October). These areas are designated as: Coopertown; Chekika Hammock State Park; residential area; rock-plowed tomato field; and Cracker Jack Slough agricultural area. Data from the developed areas were compared with data from four baseline sites in undeveloped areas to determine the effects of land use on the surface-water quality.

Abstract/Description: The Big Cypress National Preserve consists of 230,000 ha of primarily cypress, pineland, and marsh communities in southwest Florida. Parts of the area have been used for many years for a variety of activities, including farming, grazing, hunting, oil production, logging, camping and hiking. Off-road vehicles have been used extensively in many of these activities. Although human impacts on the preserve are highly visible, to date they have produced few irreversible changes.

Parts of the area have been used for many years for a variety of activities, including farming, grazing, hunting, oil production, logging, camping and hiking. Off-road vehicles have been used extensively in many of these activities. Although human impacts on the preserve are highly visible, to date they have produced few irreversible changes. However, the accelerating growth of South Florida is rapidly increasing recreation and development pressures, and a sound management program will soon need to be implemented in the Big Cypress National Preserve if long-term damage to the area is to be averted.

Big Cypress National Preserve is just being acquired and fire management is just beginning in the Preserve. Big Cypress National Preserve acquired 353,000 acres during 1977. The additional 216,500 acres will be added to Big Cypress for fire management when 60% of the land is purchased, possibly by 1980. The Florida Division of Forestry will retain fire control responsibilities for this acreage until transfer to the National Park Service is completed.
