The earliest visitors, almost without exception,saw only the coastal areas. The interior is not explored and mapped until the Second and Third Seminole Wars, 1835-1842 and 1855-1858. These accounts receive no general circulation at the time and the region reamined as remote and unknown as ever for another quarter of a century.

Abstract/Description
-
Small scale lumbering in the Big Cypress began around 1900 with small sawmills at Everglades, Naples, and Immokalee. By 1930, eight small mills were operating within 32 km (20 mi) of Immokalee (Tebeau, 1966). In the mid-to late 1930s operations expanded. The peak lumbering period was from the 1940s through the mid-1950s. By the end of this time most of the large South Florida slash pine Pinus Elliottii var. densa and cypress Taxodium distichum had been removed.

Show moreGlobal climate changes are likely to have profound effects on the Earth's ecosystems and on our perspectives on ecological conservation. Regional models project varying trends across the United States and even between southern and northern Florida. The purpose of this report is to summarize climate change literature pertinent to south Florida, particularly the Everglades, and to assess potential ecosystem vulnerabilities and the capacity for adaptation to climate change in this important ecosystem. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is unequivocal in stating that the Earth's climate is warming on the basis of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising average global sea level during the last 100 year. Furthermore, anthropogenic drivers of climate change have greater influence than natural drivers (IPCC 2007a).
