Soils contain a stock of carbon that is about twice as large as that in the atmosphere and
about three times that in vegetation. Small losses from this large pool could have significant …

Abstract The Florida Everglades is extremely oligotrophic and sensitive to small increases in
phosphorus (P) concentrations. P enrichment is one of the dominant anthropogenic impacts …

For the past 3.8 billion years, the geochemistry of the Earth's surface-its atmosphere, waters
and exposed crust-has been determined by the presence of biota. Photosynthetic organisms …

The globally important nature of wetland ecosystems has led to their increased protection
and restoration as well as their use in engineered systems. Underpinning the beneficial …

Methylmercury (MeHg) concentrations and production rates were examined along with
sulfur biogeochemistry in Everglades sediments in March, July and December, 1995, as part …

Phosphorus loading to the Everglades from nearby agricultural areas has become a major
concern, and is considered to be a significant factor in the encroachment of cattail (Typha …

Boundaries of a wetland must be identified and located in the field by examining three
parameters: wetland plants, wetland hydrology, and hydric soils. This book explains how …

The Everglades ridge and slough landscape is characterized by elevated sawgrass ridges
regularly interspersed among lower and more open sloughs that are aligned parallel to the …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) in the Florida Everglades controls a number of
environmental processes important for ecosystem function including the absorption of light …

Phosphorus loading to the northern Florida Everglades has been implicated in causing
changes in vegetation, peat accretion rates, and other soil physical‐chemical properties. Our …
