An Analysis of Surface Water Nutrient Concentrations in the Shark River Slough, 1972-1980: Report T-653.

Date Issued:
1982-03
Summary:
More than 90% of Everglades National Park is either permanently or seasonally inundated by water. The Shark River Slough, the largest freshwater flow system in the park, is the southernmost remnant of a much larger freshwater drainage system. Extensive man-made alterations to the naturalflow pattern for the purposes of flood control, land reclamation and water storage have greatly altered the hydrological regime north of the Everglades National Park. It was not until 1972 that the systematic analysis of the most important nutrient parameters, including total ammonia, total nitrite, total organic nitrogen, total orthophosphorus, total phosphorus, total inorganic carbon, total organic carbon and total carbon of the Shark River Slough was begun. It is the purpose of this paper to utilize this database in order to assess surface water nutrient conditions in the Shark River Slough from 1972-1980.
