Geography And Ecology Of The Everglades

The geography and the ecology of Everglades represent a complex system of the interdependent elements in all the southernmost area of the state of the US of Florida. The River of the grass of metaphor given by Marjory Stoneman Douglas in 1947 represents only one part of the system. The identified sector as Everglades was in the beginning a complex of the marshes and meadows 4.000 square miles (10.000 km²) in the face in all five counties. Before the first attempt to evacuate Everglades in 1882, whose whole dividing line Everglades is a part, prolonged Orlando with the compartment of Florida comprising the dividing line of Okeechobee-Everglades of Kissimmee-Lake (KLOE). The exits of river of Kissimmee run in the lake Okeechobee, which puts back 18 feet (5.5 m) above sea level during the rain season where the lake exceeds its capacity, it pour slowly above the southernmost rim of the lake and run 100 miles (160 kilometers) in the compartment of Florida. The change of gradient is so light that the river moves the miles of 5 (0.80 kilometer) one day. Prosperous Sawgrass in this river, and domination of the sawgrass in the fresh water marshes, or Slough, is the principal characteristic of what is generally known like Everglades.

However, much of ecosystems are interlaced with Slough, and the borders marking them are subtle or do not exist at all. These systems also undergo the constant changes due to the environmental factors, and the shift, develop and narrow, die, or reappear in years or decades. Geographical devices such like Western Flatwoods, Eastern Flatwoods, and Atlantic coastal edge affect models of drainage. The geological factors, the climate, and the frequency of the assistance of fire to be created, maintain, or replace the ecosystems in the shark River Valley, the large marsh of cypress, the coastal sectors and the forests of mangrove.
