Purpose
|
Characterize the surface elevation changes of wetlands in the coastal
Everglades in relation to hydrology, disturbance and vegetation dynamics.
|
|
|
Information to be Derived
|
Patterns of wetland surface elevation change over time in relation to
environmental variables.
|
|
|
Summary
|
This task of the project collects quarterly measure of wetland surface
elevation change at nine sites along two drainages in the coastal Everglades:
the Lostman's River and the Shark River. Sites vary from freshwater wetlands
(in headwater areas) to mangrove forests in downstream, tidal regions.
