Title: Analysis of Selected Benthic Communities in the Florida Everglades with Reference to Their Physical and Chemical Environment.
Creator: Waller, Bradley G., United States, Geological Survey (U.S.)
Abstract / Description: The purpose of this investigation is to document the types of aquatic benthic organisms found within the Everglades and to determine the extent to which the chemical and physical character of surface water and bottom materials affect their distribution and community structure. The scope of this investigation included the collection of benthic organisms from October 1972 to April 1974. Two samplings were completed during the dry season (April 1973-74) and two during the wet season (October...

The scope of this investigation included the collection of benthic organisms from October 1972 to April 1974. Two samplings were completed during the dry season (April 1973-74) and two during the wet season (October 1972-73). Of the 12 stations sampled, 10 were canals and 2 were in the open marsh. Comparison of species diversities calculated from similar investigations done in south Florida in recent years is made.

Title: An Evaluation of the Extent of Vegetative Habitat Alteration in South Florida, 1943-1970.
Creator: Birnhak, Bruce I., Crowder, John P., United States
Abstract / Description: The extent of vegetative habitat alteration in seven south Florida counties was estimated. The acreage historically occupied by each of 13 vegetative habitat types was determined by planimetry of a base map prepared by J.H. Davis, Jr. in 1943. Land areas currently occupied by urban and agricultural development were identified from recent land use maps prepared by the Florida Coastal Coordinating Committee and the Florida Departement of Transportation. The remaining amounts (in acres) of each...
Show moreThe extent of vegetative habitat alteration in seven south Florida counties was estimated. The acreage historically occupied by each of 13 vegetative habitat types was determined by planimetry of a base map prepared by J.H. Davis, Jr. in 1943. Land areas currently occupied by urban and agricultural development were identified from recent land use maps prepared by the Florida Coastal Coordinating Committee and the Florida Departement of Transportation. The remaining amounts (in acres) of each type of habitat were determined by outlining upon the base map all acreage now converted to agricultural or urban usage, planimetering the area of each habitat type lost to development, and subrracting the amount of lost habitat from that which was historically present. The data were arrayed in both county and regional summaries to show the total acreage and percentage of each vegetative type lost to each form of development and the total remaining acreage of each. A "native extrapolation" of past trends in land use was performed to show the rate at which wild lands are being developed in the region and to demonstrate the need for constraints on population growth and land use in order to conserve supportive natural systems.

Abstract / Description: Monthly determinations of surface and bottom water salinity were made within the canal (or stream) estuary complexes of six southeastern Florida coastal zones by means of a refractometer. (The zones included St. Lucie River and Estuary; Loxahatchee River and Estuary; West Palm Beach Canal and Estuary; Hillsboro Canal and Hillsboro River Estuary; New River Canal and Estuary; and Miami River-Biscayne Bay Estuary.)

(The zones included St. Lucie River and Estuary; Loxahatchee River and Estuary; West Palm Beach Canal and Estuary; Hillsboro Canal and Hillsboro River Estuary; New River Canal and Estuary; and Miami River-Biscayne Bay Estuary.) Salinity data were arrayed against freshwater discharge volume and local rainfall to explore relationships among these parameters. Since rainfall during most of the sampling period (June 1971-May 1972) was atypically light, conclusions drawn from the sample data are tentative.

Show moreTwenty-two man-made coastal marshes of various ages were studied to determine their similarity to natural marshes. The majority of the sites were dominated Spartina alterniflora. Sites were located throughout northern and central Florida and ranged in age from approximately 1 to 10 years. The focus of the study was on the fish and wildlife habitat value provided by created wetlands. Vegetation characteristics were highly variable, but sites that were properly planned, constructed, and maintained served as viable habitat for animals normally associated with coastal marsh systems. Factors influencing site use by various animal groups and suggestions for future mitigation efforts are discussed.
