The Everglades' Ecosystem

This means that once the rivers and streams no longer need to be filtered out of farmers' crops, they are thrown directly into the everglaze. Fertilizer grows algae, and when the algae dies and sinks to the bottom, the oxygen level is lowered. This fish kills fish and reduces the food source for animals using fish as the main food source (13-14). The second study is about the landscape of Everglades and how it affects the ecosystem.

The Everglades ecosystem evolves with very low concentrations of phosphorus and is considered an poor feeding ecosystem. There is ample evidence that phosphorus is the main limiting nutrient for the rest of the everglades. Introduction of excess phosphorus into wetlands can cause large ecological changes in wetlands. The Everglades Forever Act passed by Florida State Parliament in 1994 (Full Education Act, Florida State Regulation 373.4592) calls the water flowing into the rest of the Everglades called Everglades Reserve (defined as Water Saving Area 1) It regulates. , 2A, 2B), 3A, 3B and ENP) contain excessive phosphorus and a decrease in phosphorous content will be useful for the ecology of the Everglades Reserve

Efforts to regain the Everglades have many challenges. The MODIS / Terra image of this true color on February 17, 2002 shows the scope of the South Florida Everglades ecosystem. This area extends south from Orlando through a lake along the Kissimmee River, such as purple Ochochobee lake and brown and green mixed lake at the southwest end of Florida and Everglades. Under the surface conditions in the southern part of Florida, the state of land use and the state of the surface of the earth have changed markedly by computer simulation in the early 20th century and before 1993 (b). The rest of the undisturbed habitat is limited to Everglades National Park and Big Cypress National Reserve (Marshall, et al., 2003).

Long-term scientific concerns are focused on the vulnerability of Everglades. In 2000, Congress approved the $ 8 billion Integrated Everglades Recovery Program (CERP). The goal is to restore evergreen ecosystem health and maximize the value of its land, water and soil. Hurricane Andrew attacked Homestead in southern Miami in August 1992, became a category 5 hurricane, killed 40 people, destroyed or destroyed 100,000 homes, lost more than 1 million without electricity , I lost $ 20 billion to $ 30 billion. Dollar The most sensitive vegetation in South Florida is seriously damaged. For decades, this storm storm has not happened in this area. In addition to serious physical damage, hurricanes almost destroyed the insurance industry in this area.
