Virtual Florida Everglades
This paper was based on the design and development of a richly detailed three-dimensional virtual environment, which could be used to educate the public and promote ecological awareness, especially important for endangered environments like the Florida wetlands. The products of this research will result in a proposal and low-cost solution for a freestanding museum exhibit. This exhibit will all...
متن کاملLand Surface Analysis of the Florida Everglades
Data collected at key points or along important environmental gradients help us understand microscale processes and advance techniques for characterizing South Florida’s land surface using imagery collected from the air or space. This project is developing rapid, non-destructive protocols for vegetation assessment (Figure 1) to create models that estimate biophysical characteristics of vegetati...
متن کاملSurface water sulfate dynamics in the northern Florida Everglades.
Sulfate contamination has been identified as a serious environmental issue in the Everglades ecosystem. However, it has received less attention compared to P enrichment. Sulfate enters the Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge (Refuge), a remnant of the historic Everglades, in pumped stormwater discharges with a mean concentration of approximately 50 mg L(-1), and marsh interi...
متن کاملAssessing drought-related ecological risk in the Florida Everglades.
In the winter-spring of 2001, South Florida experienced one of the worst droughts in its recorded history. Out of a myriad of ecological concerns identified during this time, the potential for catastrophic peat fire and negative impacts to wading bird reproduction emerged as critical issues. Water managers attempted to strike a balance between the environment and protection of water supplies fo...
متن کاملDenitrification in marl and peat sediments in the Florida everglades.
The potential for denitrification in marl and peat sediments in the Shark River Slough in the Everglades National Park was determined by the acetylene blockage assay. The influence of nitrate concentration on denitrification rate and N(2)O yield from added nitrate was examined. The effects of added glucose and phosphate and of temperature on the denitrification potential were determined. The se...
