Overview
- Background information about current and historical ecological conditions of the region set the context for reports of long-term research projects.
- A series of gradient studies determining the effects of hydrology and nutrient changes are presented, followed by field experiments that have tested those findings.
- Subsequent sections present models for predicting responses to various conditions and analyze the studies and models, focusing on management and restoration of the Everglades.
- This book will interest professionals and graduate students interested in ecosystems and wetland ecology.
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
Part of the book series: Ecological Studies (ECOLSTUD)

Reviews
From the reviews:
"The Everglades experiments is one of the few synthesis books that could be used by policy makers and scientists to adopt strategies for Everglades restoration. … The Everglades experiments: lessons for ecosystem restoration is a great resource to scientists and researchers at different universities, and state and federal agencies that are involved in Everglades restoration. It will be useful to students in the ecology and the environmental fields with the Everglades used as a case example." (Samira Daroub, Ecology, Vol. 90 (2), 2009)
