Summary:
During the 1950s and early 1960s, privately owned land within the boundaries of Everglades National Park, FL was rockplowed for tomato farming. This area, known as the "Hole-in-the-Donut" was purchased by the federal government in the 1970s; it was last farmed in 1975. The land's substrate had been drastically altered by the rockplowing and thus the National Park Service explored various means of restoring the original vegetation. The authors report the results of four different studies begun in 1977 on the early plant succession on these lands. Plant species list generated by these studies are included.
