Analysis and simulations of fragmentation patterns in the Everglades

Analysis and simulations of fragmentation patterns in the Everglades

Sawgrass (Cladium jamaicense) communities of Water Conservation Area 2A (WCA-2A), a 43 281 ha Northern Everglades impoundment, are being invaded by cattail (Typha spp.). Results from analyses suggest that the yearly invasion rate of cattails has increased from 1% in 1973 to 4% by 1987. The total are...

Zusammenfassung:Sawgrass (Cladium jamaicense) communities of Water Conservation Area 2A (WCA-2A), a 43 281 ha Northern Everglades impoundment, are being invaded by cattail (Typha spp.). Results from analyses suggest that the yearly invasion rate of cattails has increased from 1% in 1973 to 4% by 1987. The total area of the landscape impacted by cattail increased from $
