Abstract. We examined the vegetation of Southeast Saline Everglades (SESE), where water management and sea level rise have been important ecological forces during last 50 years. Marshes within SESE were arranged in well‐defined compositional zones parallel to coast, with mangrove‐dominated shrub communities near coast giving way graminoid‐mangrove mixtures, then Cladium marsh. The gradient was accompanied by an interiorward decrease total aboveground biomass, increases leaf area index...
Meeder, J.F. and Parkinson, R.W., 2018. SE Saline Everglades transgressive sedimentation in response to historic acceleration sea-level rise: A viable marker for the base of Anthropocene?Rate global eustatic rise during Holocene Epoch has been identified as principle cause observed changes or inferred evolution nontectonic coastal systems mid- low-latitude areas. The rate is now three times faster than it was past several thousand years similar values associated with middle marine...
Abstract Aim and Questions Sea‐level rise has been responsible for extensive vegetation changes in coastal areas worldwide. The intent of our study was to analyze dynamics a South Florida watershed within an explicit spatiotemporal framework that might aid projecting the landscape's future response restoration efforts. We also asked whether recent transgression by mangroves other halophytes resulted reduced plant diversity at local or subregional scales. Location Florida’'s Southeast Saline...
Abstract The Miami Limestone is an oolite depositional body that used as analog model for geological interpretation of the rock record. Barrier‐bar complex, banks, extensive bryozoan flats and tidal creeks, referred to transverse glades, have been described. High‐resolution LiDAR data are produce unprecedented, detailed topographic maps glades in southern Atlantic Coastal Ridge. These were originally calculate historic discharge from Everglades but revealed features inconsistent with...
Abstract A transgressive palustrine depositional model is described for the South‐east Saline Everglades, Florida. The origin, development and termination of freshwater carbonate mud (marl) deposition along very low gradient Late Pleistocene ramp are responses to changing rates rising sea level during Holocene. onset Holocene defined by a decrease in rate sea‐level rise from between 2 3 <1 mm year −1 . Freshwater marl began with this ca 3165 ± 187 BP, shallow (<0.3 m deep), ephemeral...
