Algae have been used for a century in environmental assessments of water bodies and are
now used in countries around the world. This review synthesizes recent advances in the …

Periphyton is an abundant and ubiquitous feature of the Florida Everglades, often forming
thick mats that blanket shallow sediments and submersed plants. They are considered to be …

We present 8 yr of long‐term water quality, climatological, and water management data for
17 locations in Everglades National Park, Florida. Total phosphorus (P) concentration data …

We examined periphyton along transects in five Everglades marshes and related
compositional and functional aspects to phosphorus (P) gradients caused by enriched …

Periphyton communities dominate primary production in much of the Florida Everglades
wetland and therefore contribute to soil production, ecosystem metabolism and secondary …

Few studies have examined long‐term ecological effects of sustained low‐level nutrient
enhancement on wetland biota. To determine sustained effects of phosphorus (P) addition …

Cyanobacteria are widespread in freshwater benthic environments, which include wetlands,
lake littoral zones, streams and rivers. This chapter outlines the major constraints on …

In this manuscript we define a new term we call coastal groundwater discharge (CGD),
which is related to submarine groundwater discharge (SGD), but occurs when seawater …

Extensive portions of the southern Everglades are characterized by series of elongated,
raised peat ridges and tree islands oriented parallel to the predominant flow direction …

Periphyton is an important component of the Everglades biogeochemical cycle but remains
poorly understood. From a biogeochemical perspective, periphyton is a dense aggregation …
