Abstract/Description
Florida wetlands are subject to alteration of ecological function by draining, dredging, filling, and hydrologic modification. Unlike other sources, detecting an ecological response to hydrologic alterations can be subtle and difficult to quantify. To develop wetland hydrologic protection criteria, a hydrologically sensitive indicator species was needed.

Show moreFlorida wetlands are subject to alteration of ecological function by draining, dredging, filling, and hydrologic modification. Unlike other sources, detecting an ecological response to hydrologic alterations can be subtle and difficult to quantify. To develop wetland hydrologic protection criteria, a hydrologically sensitive indicator species was needed. Everglades crayfish (Procambarus alleni), a trophically critical element of southern Florida wetlands, were evaluated as a potential indicator species. P. alleni excavates temporary burrows to survive Florida's dry season. Burrow lengths were measured through a dry season. Regression analysis was used to determine if burrow depths changed as water levels changed. The relationship was significant (p < .0002, R = -0.93, R2 = 0.86). P. alleni's burrowing provides a direct measurement of biotic response to hydrologic fluctuations. This response will be used to detect the survival threshold of crayfish to hydrologic alteration. Extrapolating this threshold will assist in providing an index of ecosystem response to hydrologic alterations.

effect of water level variation on the growth of Melaleuca seedlings from the Lake Okeechobee littoral zone
Title
The effect of water level variation on the growth of Melaleuca seedlings from the Lake Okeechobee littoral zone.
Creator
Lockhart, Christine Syrk, Florida Atlantic University, Austin, Daniel F.
Abstract/Description
The invasive exotic wetland tree, Melaleuca quinquenervia, continues to rapidly expand throughout seasonally wet areas of southern Florida. Water managers are concerned that lowering the water levels of Lake Okeechobee, part of the Everglades ecosystem, while benefitting various natural resources, would stimulate the Melaleuca population. Saplings and seven-week old seedlings were subjected to various hydroperiod treatments, based on a simulation of historical water level variations. Saplings...
Show moreThe invasive exotic wetland tree, Melaleuca quinquenervia, continues to rapidly expand throughout seasonally wet areas of southern Florida. Water managers are concerned that lowering the water levels of Lake Okeechobee, part of the Everglades ecosystem, while benefitting various natural resources, would stimulate the Melaleuca population. Saplings and seven-week old seedlings were subjected to various hydroperiod treatments, based on a simulation of historical water level variations. Saplings grew taller, increased shoot number, and increased root biomass under longer hydroperiods with fluctuating water levels, including short periods of submersion. Age affected seedling response--those submersed at seven weeks grew slower and had less biomass than submersed 12-week old seedlings, yet mortality was low at both ages. While Melaleuca's plasticity allows it to adapt to hypoxic, aquatic conditions by means of aquatic heterophylly and adventitious roots, like other wetland trees, Melaleuca has limited flood tolerance. Algae and drought also increase mortality.

Using a Groundwater Influenced Sea Level Rise Model to Assess the Costs Due to Sea-Level Rise on a Coastal Community’s Stormwater Infrastructure Using Limited Groundwater Data.

Abstract/Description
A confounding factor for sea level rise (SLR) is that it has a slow, steady creep, which provides a false sense for coastal communities. Stresses caused by SLR at today’s rate are more pronounced in southeastern Florida and as the rate of SLR accelerates, the exposure areas will increase to a point where nearly all the state’s coastal infrastructure will be challenged. The research was conducted to develop a method for measuring the impact of SLR on the City of West Palm Beach (City), assess...
Show moreA confounding factor for sea level rise (SLR) is that it has a slow, steady creep, which provides a false sense for coastal communities. Stresses caused by SLR at today’s rate are more pronounced in southeastern Florida and as the rate of SLR accelerates, the exposure areas will increase to a point where nearly all the state’s coastal infrastructure will be challenged. The research was conducted to develop a method for measuring the impact of SLR on the City of West Palm Beach (City), assess its impact on the stormwater system, identify vulnerable areas in the City, provide an estimate of long-term costs of improvements, and provide a toolbox or strategies to employ at the appropriate time. The assessment was conducted by importing tidal, groundwater, topographic LiDAR and infrastructure improvements into geographic modeling software and performing analysis based on current data. The data revealed that over $400 million in current dollars might be needed to address stormwater issues arising from SLR before 2100.
