Modeling Phosphorus Trapping in Wetlands Using Nonparametric Bayesian Regression

Phosphorus-enriched agricultural runo from the Everglades Agriculture Area is believed to have caused ecological changes in the northern part of the Everglades wetlands. A number of e orts have been made to assess the e ectiveness of using constructed wetlands as a means of phosphorus removal from the agricultural runo . The objective of this study is to develop a predictive model for the total...

Cellulolytic, fermentative, and methanogenic guilds in benthic periphyton mats from the Florida Everglades.

Phosphorus enrichment caused by runoff from agricultural areas has resulted in ecosystem-level changes in the northern Florida Everglades, including a loss of periphyton mats from nutrient-impacted areas. The potential for methanogenesis resulting from the anaerobic decomposition of cellulose and fermentation products, and the microorganisms responsible for these processes, were studied in mats...

Chapter 3: Ecological Effects of Phosphorus Enrichment in the Everglades

The Everglades Forever Act (Act; Section 373.4592, Florida Statutes) requires the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (Department) and the South Florida Water Management District (District) to implement the Everglades Program, a comprehensive plan to begin restoration of significant portions of the remnant Everglades. The Act also specifically finds that waters flowing into a part of...

Sediment Inventory and Phosphorus Fractions for Water Conservation Area Canals in the Everglades

Nutrient loading from the Everglades Agricultural Area and nearby urban communities plus water flow rate and canal size have significantly influenced the amount of sediment and phosphorus (P) pools stored in the Water Conservation Area (WCA) canals in the Everglades. A study was conducted to characterize the potential impact that sediments might have on the overlying water column by conducting ...

Anaerobic microflora of everglades sediments: effects of nutrients on population profiles and activities.

Everglades sediments (wetland soils) near sources of agricultural runoff had low redox potentials, were blackened with sulfide, and displayed high porewater phosphorus (total) concentrations and high water column conductivities. These sediments yielded 10(sup3)- to 10(sup4)-fold-higher numbers of culturable anaerobes, including methanogens, sulfate reducers, and acetate producers, than did sedi...
