Title: Annual hydrology review: Everglades National Park and Big Cypress National Preserve, water year 1978.
Name/Creator: Rose, Paul W., Rosendahl, Peter C., Lew, Rose M., South Florida Research Center, PALMM (Project)
Abstract/Description: The dynamic equilibrium of the hydrologic parameters and the response of the water budget directly affects all ecological aspects of Everglades National Park. An intensive water resources program for water management is mandatory if the quality of the Everglades is to be preserved. The initial thrust for such a program depends on a complete understanding of the hydrologic balance in the park. Throughout the years both the National Park Service and the U.S. Geological Survey have documented...

An intensive water resources program for water management is mandatory if the quality of the Everglades is to be preserved. The initial thrust for such a program depends on a complete understanding of the hydrologic balance in the park. Throughout the years both the National Park Service and the U.S. Geological Survey have documented hydrologic inputs for South Florida and the Everglades., The purpose of the Annual Hydrology Review is to summarize and explain hydrologic conditions experienced in Everglades National Park and the Big Cypress National Preserve during the water year. The hydrologic parameters examined for Water Year 78 include: precipitation, temperature, water level, water deliveries, and discharge. These data are summarized both graphically and in tabular formats to provide greater insight into hydrologic conditions during Water Year 78.

Title: Distribution and habitat of the red-cockaded woodpecker in Big Cypress National Preserve [electronic resource].
Name/Creator: Patterson, Gary A., Robertson, William B., South Florida Research Center, PALMM (Project)
Abstract/Description: Surveys in 1979 and 1980 revealed that pine forests of the Big Cypress National Preserve (BICY) support a sizable and largely unsuspected population of the Red-cockaded Woodpecker, a federally-listed endangered species. All colony activity centers and nesting/roosting cavities were located in stands of old-growth slash pine, but birds from several colonies foraged primarily in cut-over areas of younger pines. Because pine logging operations left frequent small patches of original forest...
Show moreSurveys in 1979 and 1980 revealed that pine forests of the Big Cypress National Preserve (BICY) support a sizable and largely unsuspected population of the Red-cockaded Woodpecker, a federally-listed endangered species. All colony activity centers and nesting/roosting cavities were located in stands of old-growth slash pine, but birds from several colonies foraged primarily in cut-over areas of younger pines. Because pine logging operations left frequent small patches of original forest within the cut-over section, in addition to the substantial areas not touched by logging, habitat acceptable to the Red-cockaded Woodpecker now occurs throughout much of the pine forest area of BICY., Survival of the Red-cockaded Woodpecker colonies located in remnants of the original forest within cut-over areas, about one-third of the known population, depends on the survival of enough of the mature pines until trees in the second-growth stands reach adequate size for woodpecker cavities. Severe fires which may kill mature pines and dense hardwood invasion of pine stands in the absence of fire seem to be the major ecological influences limiting available habitat. Realization that the Red-cockaded Woodpeckers of the BICY are a major, peripheral population unit of this endangered species emphasizes the need for completion of the population survey and initiation of biological studies.

Title: An inventory of the plant communities of the Turner River area, Big Cypress National Preserve, Florida.
Name/Creator: Gunderson, Lance H., Loope, Lloyd L., Maynard, William R., South Florida Research Center, PALMM (Project)
Abstract/Description: Many factors influence the distribution of plant communities in the Big Cypress area of southern Florida. A spectrum of hydrologic conditions is found throughout the communities, ranging from deep water areas with long periods of inundation to "upland" areas with no inundation. The hydrologic regime in each community is a result of topographic and edaphic features combined with the rainfall pattern characterized by a pronounced wet season in May-October.

The authors subsequently measured one annual cycle of recovery in these experimentally created lanes. They also measured one annual cycle of recovery in old trails, many of which had not been originally created by off-road vehicles but had been heavily used by them for many years. The current study details recovery seven years after the experimental lanes had been created or the old trails abandoned. Parameters evaluated included visual, soil, and vegetation characteristics. After seven years recovery, few of the one pass and medium impact experimental lanes were still significantly different from adjacent controls. However, very few of the heavy impact lanes had recovered.

Title: Off-road vehicles and their impacts in the Big Cypress National Preserve: final report.
Name/Creator: Duever, Michael J., Carlson, John E., Riopelle, Lawrence A., National Audubon Society, South Florida Research Center, PALMM (Project)
Abstract/Description: During the past two decades vehicular travel through roadless country has increased tremendously. While off-road vehicles (ORVs) provide recreational access to many areas that otherwise would be enjoyed by few, they are causing marked impacts on natural ecosystems, and since many of the most severely afected areas are, like the Big Cypress, quasi-wilderness regions which have been set aside as natural preserves, any such damage is of great concern., With certain constraints, reasonable...
Show moreDuring the past two decades vehicular travel through roadless country has increased tremendously. While off-road vehicles (ORVs) provide recreational access to many areas that otherwise would be enjoyed by few, they are causing marked impacts on natural ecosystems, and since many of the most severely afected areas are, like the Big Cypress, quasi-wilderness regions which have been set aside as natural preserves, any such damage is of great concern., With certain constraints, reasonable numbers of ORV's can undoubtedly be used without disrupting the integrity of most ecosystems. Unfortunately, most of the research done to date has involved types of vehicles and terrain not normally encountered in South Florida. In order to develop a more relevant database for decisions on the future of ORV's in the Big Cypress National Preserve, a study was contracted to evaluate ORV impacts and their subsequent recovery rates in the preserve's major habitats.

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.

Title: Summary of Fires in Everglades National Park and Big Cypress National Preserve, 1980: Report T-663.
Name/Creator: Taylor, Dale L., Doren, Robert F., PALMM (Project)
Abstract/Description: Everglades National Park and Big Cypress National Preserve have a high fire incidence where 50% of all acreage burned within the ENTIRE National Park Service system occur. Because of the high fire frequency, and because fire records are about the only tool for fire history work (Taylor 1980a), a fire records system has been developed which includes an annual fire summary (Taylor 1981a). This paper is the third annual fire summary.
