|a A comprehensive, broadly accepted vegetation classification is important for ecosystem
management, particularly for planning and monitoring. South Florida vegetation
classification systems that are currently in use were largely arrived at subjectively and
intuitively with the involvement of experienced botanical observers and ecologists, but with
little support in terms of quantitative field data. The need to develop a field data-driven
classification of South Florida vegetation that builds on the ecological organization has been
recognized by the National Park Service and vegetation practitioners in the region. The
present work, funded by the National Park Service Inventory and Monitoring Program -
South Florida/Caribbean Network (SFCN), covers the first stage of a larger project whose
goal is to apply extant vegetation data to test, and revise as necessary, an existing, widely
used classification (Rutchey et al. 2006). The objectives of the first phase of the project were
(1) to identify useful existing datasets, (2) to collect these data and compile them into a geodatabase,
(3) to conduct an initial classification analysis of marsh sites, and (4) to design a
strategy for augmenting existing information from poorly represented landscapes in order to
develop a more comprehensive south Florida classification. |
