Community Characterization And Disturbance Effects On Wetlands Communites In Everglades National Park; Understanding Disturbance and Wetlands Restoration in the Hole-In-The-Donut

Date Issued:: 1996-02
Summary:: The current pineland studies involve primarily demographics of pine trees and larger shrubs in the understory. Little research has been focused on the herbaceous understory and the associated communities within the pineland proper and the adjacent prairies. This is a critical community, especially since Hurricane Andrew virtually eliminated all pinelands outside Everglades National Park. Therefore, the pineland research program is being modified to cover the herbacious understory elements in addition to the pines and shrubs. An understanding of the communities and their ecological interactions with one another and abiotic factors influencing them is key to understanding management of the pine-wetland habitats, and successful restoration of the HID which is surrounded by and was formerly pine-wetland habitat.
