- Description
Tree islands are a prominent feature in the Ridge and Slough landscape of the Everglades, where they have undergone extensive damage from drought, fire and extreme flooding. They are also prevalent in the short-hydroperiod prairies, where they have been adversely impacted by fire and encroaching exotic plants. Changes in water management associated with hydrologic restoration will result in changes in the internal water economy of tree islands, as well as their risk of fire, which in turn will lead to changes in plant function and species composition. It is therefore important to understand how restoration translates into impacts in these unique ecosystems.
