Study on Spatiotemporal Variability of Water Quality Parameters in Florida Bay Using Remote Sensing
Florida Bay is the other important waterbody of South Florida that is a dynamic and biologically productive system, which provides unique habitats. Based on the volume of fresh water flow coming from the Everglades, the salinity of the Florida Bay is varies in different wet and dry seasons. Therefore, in this area, the flow of freshwater from the Everglades determines the conditions in Florida ...
متن کاملNutrient Mass Flux between Florida Bay and the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary
There is a net discharge of water and nutrients through Long Key Channel from Florida Bay to the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS). There has been speculation that this water and its constituents may be contributing to the loss of coral cover on the Florida Keys Reef tract over the past few decades, as well as speculation that changes in freshwater flow in the upstream Everglades e...
متن کاملSeasonal and Long-term Trends in the Water Quality of Florida Bay (1989-l 997)
Analysis of 6 yr of monthly water quality data was performed on three distinct zones of Florida Bay: the eastern bay, central bay, and western bay. Each zone was analyzed for trends at hrtra-annual (seasonal), interammal (oscillation), and long-term (monotonic) scales. The variables TON, TOC, temperature, and TN : TF’ ratio had seasonal maxhna in the summer rainy season; APA and Chl a, indicato...
متن کاملKnowledge Extraction from the Neural ‘Black Box’ in Ecological Monitoring
Phytoplankton biomass within the Saginaw Bay ecosystem (Lake Huron, Michigan, USA) was characterized as a function of select physical/chemical indicators. The complexity and variability of ecological systems typically make it difficult to model the influences of anthropogenic stressors and/or natural disturbances. Here, Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) were developed to model chlorophyll a con...
متن کاملAttenuation of Photosynthetically Available Radiation (PAR) in Florida Bay: Potential for Light Limitation of Primary Producers
Light attenuation in marine ecosystems can limit primary production and determine the species composition and abundance of primary producers. In Florida Bay, the importance of understanding the present light environment has heightened as major upstream water management restoration projects have been proposed and some are already being implemented. We analyzed a 2-yr (2001–2003) data set of the ...
