Notes

General Note:
Assessing the “performance” of these forested ecosystems, i.e., tropical hardwood hammocks, requires a better understanding of their reference condition, functioning, and ability to respond to and recover from periodic stresses (e.g., fire, windstorms, flooding, and/or drought), as well as their response to landscape level hydrologic modifications and management decisions. With this as the backdrop, we set forth on a multi-year intensive monitoring and assessment study of tropical hardwood hammocks within two distinct hydrologic regions in the southern Everglades.
