    Description: Red imported fire ants (Solenopsis invicta) invaded peninsular Florida morethan 30 years ago. Highlands and Polk counties, Florida, were probably first invaded inthe late 1960s. Since then, fire ants have continued both to spread and to increase inabundance. Experimental evidence has shown that red imported fire ants may have adetrimental impact on native species, both invertebrate and vertebrate, and that theseimpacts may be both direct and indirect. This segment of research was designed todetermine if fire ants have a negative impact on Florida grasshopper sparrow(Ammodramus savannarumfloridanus) populations at Avon Park Air Force BombingRange, Florida. The sampling reported herein was conducted during June and October,1997, and all analyses are restricted to data collected during those periods. As assessedby baits, fire ants were dominant on about half the sites, and absent from others. Inparticular, OQ Range sites tended to have fewer fire ants present, while Delta Trail siteswere more heavily infested, although there were exceptions. June fire ant abundance wasstrongly negatively correlated with both native ant abundance (r = -0.743, P = 0.006) andnative ant species richness (r = -0.730, P = 0.007). October fire ant abundance wasstrongly negatively correlated with both native ant abundance (r = -0.690, P = 0.013) andnative ant species richness (r = -0.736, P = 0.006). The patterns of fire ant abundance asassessed by pitfalls were very similar to those determined from bait sampling. June fireant abundance was negatively correlated (p 〈 0.05) with native ant richness, but otherJune comparisons were not statistically significant (P 〉 0.05). October fire antabundance was negatively correlated (P 〈 0.05) with native ant richness and abundance,but other comparisons were not statistically significant (P 〉 0.05). There was nosignificant correlation between overall insect biomass as assessed by light traps and fireant abundance as assessed by baits or pitfalls. Total biomass varied considerably amongthe two sample periods because of changes in overall insect abundance during differentseasons. There was a negative spatial correspondence between fire ants and nativeinvertebrates. Over most of the intensive study areas, there was a negative spatialrelationship between fire ants and the abundance of native invertebrates. Over about50% of the intensive study areas, there was a negative spatial relationship between fireants and the abundance of Florida grasshopper sparrows, although the relationship wasnot as strong as that between fire ants and native invertebrates. Fire ant and nativeinvertebrates were negatively correlated at grasshopper sparrow count locations (r =0.347,P = 0.03). A multiple regression model was fit to the data, using fire ants andnative invertebrates as independent variables, and grasshopper sparrow 100-m populationestimates (n = 39) as the dependent variable. The influence of fire ants on grasshoppersparrows was negative while the influence of native invertebrates was positive.However, the overall model, while suggestive, was not significant (r = 0.304, P = 0.17).Fire ant abundance was a better (negative) predictor of sparrow populations (P = 0.13)than was invertebrate abundance (P = 0.59). The overall model and influence of fire antson sparrow populations was suggestive of a negative influence warranting analyses ofdata for 1998 and 1999. (Document has 93 pages)

    Description: The Kemp's ridley (Lepidochelys kempo is considered the most endangered ofthe seven extant marine turtle species (Ross et al. 1989). The US Fish and WildlifeService (USFWS) and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) estimate thebreeding population at 1,500 to 3,000 individuals. The nesting population has beenreduced from approximately 40,000 on one day to no more than 700 annually(Magnuson et al. 1990, USFWS & NMFS 1992). Conservation measures for thespecies have focused on the protection of the nesting beach, captive rearing (headstarting), and the implementation of turtle excluder devices (TEDs) on shrimp nets. Fivehundred to 5,000 ridleys are still taken incidentally yearly by shrimp trawls (Magnuson etal. 1990). Lack of knowledge about early life stages of the Kemp's ridley sea turtlecurrently hinders recovery efforts for this federally listed species. (Document has 18 pages.)

    Description: The value of the natural resources of the White River Basin (Basin), AR isrecognized by the area's designation as a "Wetland of International Importance". TheBasin constitutes one of the Nation's largest remaining intact forested wetlandlandscapes, second only to the Atchafalya Basin. It supports the North Americancontinent's largest concentration of over-wintering mallard ducks, a world-class troutfishery, the last vestige of a big river fishery remaining in the Mississippi River Basin,and numerous threatened and endangered species. The continued viability of thiswetland ecosystem depends on the suitability of the hydrologic environment to theresident flora and fauna. Numerous modifications of the Basin hydrologic features in thepast century have seriously impaired the sustainability of these resources. The Basinwidealterations of hydrologic processes (e.g., impoundment and regulatory releases offlows and volumes in the upper reaches, navigational modifications of lower reaches, andconsumptive demands for agricultural use throughout) have affected the hydrology of thesystem profoundly. The result is highly regulated flows and stages, vastly alteredhydrologic patterns, over-stabilized water levels, and disruption of seasonal waterdistribution patterns. Given the critical nature of hydrology in regulating the structureand function of wetland ecosystems, the impacts have been devastating, particularly tothe critical bottomland hardwoods that support the Basin's fish and wildlife resources.To date these piece-meal, system-wide, hydrologic alterations have cornmutativelydegraded the habitat value of this resource for fish and wildlife in the Basin, and havelead to changes in their numbers and distributions. In spite of the enormous stakesinvolved, there has been no comprehensive characterization of the Basin hydrology.System alterations such as channel deepening, dam construction, water allocationplans, and flood control measures are currently pending. These projects will potentiallyhrther modify the hydrologic environments of the Basin, and no doubt require mitigationmeasures. In addition, there is genuine interest in restoring aspects of the Basin's historichydrologic regime within some set of reasonable limits. In order to proceed with thiseffort, the anticipated effects of these modifications and restorations on the Basin ecologyrequire thorough study of the area's historic hydrology, so that connectivity among Basinprecipitation patterns, flow fluctuations, and land use changes can be made. A basinhydrologic characterization is an initial component of this effort. The focus of this effortwas to determine and assemble the data set from which characterization of the hydrologicenvironments of the Basin using historic and recent water level, flow, (primarily byUSGS-WRD) at locations throughout the Basin could proceed.

    Description: Loxahatchee can be grouped into three zones according to the patterns of change of treeislands observed from 1950 to 1991. 1 ) the edge ofthe refuge adjacent to the canals, 2) the eastern interiorof the refuge, and 3) the western interior ofthe refuge. The general trend is for tree islandsAlong the edge of the refuge to have decreased insize, number, and percent cover, while those on theinterior increased in size, nunber, and percentcover.Results from this study illustrate the importanceof flow magnitude as well as hydroperiodand depth in stucturing patterns of tree islandswithin this peat wetland. Restoration of historichydroperiods and depths without historic flow patternsmay not be sufficient to restore or maintainthe historic pattern and function of the system. (60 pages)

    Description: We present a new modeling method for use in large-scale physical systems, such as the Everglades ecosystem.The current work that has been done in the ATLSS (Across-Trophic-Level System Simulation) project-whichfocuses on simulating key Everglades system components-relies on code integration. While this represents anecessary first step in analyzing the dynamics of species within the Everglades, it falls short of true modelintegration. We have constructed a methodology called object-oriented physical modeling (OOPM), which allowsa comprehensive knowledge representation to be constructedfor large-scale systems. OOPM enforces theidea that an implementation ofcomputer code can be accomplished in an incremental fashion by starting with aconceptual model and progressing to more detailed models. During this evolutionary procedure, a minimal amountof code is written, since the emphasis is on developing the conceptual model so that it not only represents theintuitive aspects ofthe model, but is also executable. OOPM provides a kind of "blueprint" for ecologists, biologistsand hydrologists to communicate and integrate models effectively. (14 page document)

    Description: Along EAFB on Cape San BIas, the only sea turtle species nest observed has beenthe loggerhead turtle. The first green turtle nest documented along the Florida panhandlecoast was observed on EAFB property, however (D. Atencio, EAFB, pers. comm). SantaRosa Island, located approximately 150 miles west of Cape San BIas supports a small butconsistent, group of nesting green turtles (Fig. 2). Although erosion is not as severe alongSanta Rosa Island as it is on Cape San BIas, and vehicular traffic is not permitted, seaturtles nesting on this barrier island must survive severe tropical storms, predation, andartificial lighting to be successful. Because this area supports a rare group of nesting greenturtles and is disturbed by intense artificial lighting from Air Force missions and adjacentresort towns, continued monitoring is necessary. The sea turtle species that nest along thisbarrier island, and the human activities that disturb those sea turtles present uniquecircumstances for management ofthis area. Protection ofthe significant nestingpopulations of sea turtles on EAFB properties on Cape San BIas and Santa Rosa Islandrequires yearly monitoring of the nesting activity and the natural and human disturbancesinfluencing the nesting females.The objectives ofthis study were to monitor sea turtle nesting along EAFB onCape San BIas to determine number of nests and hatching success, assess disturbances,and determine proper management to ensure successful nesting and hatching.(56 page document)

    Description: Work has begun on studying the factors responsible for productivityin the Florida springs, which are nearly constant temperature, constantchemical, steady state giant laboratories. Progress has been made on fiveaspects: qualitative description, quantitative description, completionof knowledge of chemical factors, measurement of productivity , developmentof productivity theory.Measurement of the primary productivity in Silver Springs and GreenCove Springs by two new methods: the raising of organisms in cages, and themeasurement of night & day differences in oxygen downstream agree roughly.Production in these springs is greater than previous production figures reportedfor marine, fresh water, and land areas. Instantaneous measures of production show large variations with season, time of day, cloud cover. Productionestimates range from 11,000 lbs per acre per year to 70,000 lbs. glucose peracre per year during daylight hours.Essential stability of the springs environment has been shown withrespect to temperature, phosphorus, and plant cover. A correlation of speciesnumber with lack of stability has been shown with insects. Quantitativestudies have shown very large plant base to pyramids of mass. Correlationof marine invasion with chlorinity has been shown. The essential aspects ofpH regulated phosphorus geochemistry in Florida have been outlined. Sometheoretical ideas on productivity have been evolved. Mapping of sessileorganisms in springs and taxonomic identification of dominants are halfcompleted. Plans for second six months include measurement of herbivoreand carnivore production rates and completion of food chain efficiencydeterminations in Silver Springs as a preparation for subsequentcomparisons between springs.

    Description: The effect of productivity on species variety has been studied by countsof diatom species on glass slides at favorable and unfavorable stations withinSilver Springs. Species variety has been presented in a measure that is independentof sample size, "species per cycle". This measure is based on the linear increase of accumulated species with logarithmic increase of individuals counted, which has been found approximately true for many kinds of populations in many communities. Diatom productivity was measured by the rate of chlorophyll accumulation. The poor station accumulated diatoms and chlorophyll slowly and was characterized by a large species variety. There was little change after 79 days. The rich station accumulated diatoms and chlorophyll rapidly and was characterized by a small species variety that decreased for 93 days as the density of the population increased. These results indicated that species variet was decreased by conditions of high productivity possibly through the action of high densities and competition.Twelve new diurnal production curves were obtained including two more on Silver Springs and one each for 10 different Florida Springs. A shallow oligohaline spring possessed the highest productivity of 58.0 gm/m2/day; a shaded and anerobic spring possessed the lowest producvitiy of 0.66 gm /m2/day. Findings in further studies in Silver Springs indicated a two fold diurnal chlorophyll fluctuation in the pseudoplankton going downstream, photosynthetic quotients corresponding to carbohydrate production on winter or heavily clouded days, and higher quotients corresponding to protein production on sunny, summer days; evidences that bell jar estimates of respiration in flowing water communities lead to underestimates; recalculation of mean depth of plant beds leads to a 5% estimate of photosynthetic efficiency for Silver Springs (rather than 8%). Correlated with a 20% decrease in the discharge associated with widespread drought in 1954-55 the oxygen of the main boil dropped from 2.5 ppm to 1.7 ppm. A production measurement by the diurnal oxygen and carbon-dioxide curve method was made in a somewhat isolated "boat basin." Efficiency of production in this stationary, plankton containing water of Silver Springs origin was about 1%. Further evidence was obtained of nitrate increase in water flowing from anaerobic springs over blue-green algae. The area based chlorophyll of the benthic Silver Springs community was similar to that in forests and lakes of Europe. (63 pages)

    Description: The critical need to predict the turbidity in water due to fine-grained sediment suspensionunder wave action over mud deposits for sedimentation and erosion studies, as well assorbed contaminant transport, is well known. Since fall velocities of fine sediment particlesare very small, they can be easily transported by hydrodynamic flows such as waves andcurrents. The presence of these particles in the water column affects accoustic transmission,heat absorption and depth of the eutrophic zone (Luettich et al., 1989). Because these sedimentsalso have a strong affinity for sorbing nutrients and toxic chemicals, sediments whichhave been deposited on the bottom may function as a source of contaminants to the watercolumn if they are disturbed by eroding forces resulting, for instance, from wave action. Anoutstanding example of a water body for these problems is Lake Okeechobee, the largestshallow lake in Florida. This lake shows typical signs of artificial eutrophication mainly dueto increased phosphorus loading associated with the surrounding region. Resuspension of sediment at the bottom of Lake Okeechobee composed of fine-grainedmaterial has been examined. A sediment transport model was used to simulate likelytrends in the evolution of the vertical suspended sediment concentration profile resultingfrom wave action, and the corresponding eroded bed depth was calculated through massbalance. Requisite information on characteristic parameters and relationships related tofine sediment erodibility were derived from field sampling of bottom sediment in the lake,and through laboratory experiments using this sediment and lake water.

    Description: The Cabo Rojo Salt Flats, at the southwestern tip ofPuerto Rico, provide important autumn stopover and winteringhabitat for migratory shorebirds. I studied the abundanceand distribution of shorebirds and their food resources atthis site during autumn of 1990 and 1991.Small calidrids (primarily Calidris pusilla and C.mauri) were the most abundant shorebirds at the salt flats.The maximum weekly counts of small calidrids in 1990 (2,690)and 1991 (3,532) occurred in mid October. Calidrids foragedprimarily in the Fraternidad lagoon system; roosting tookplace most often at the neighboring Candelaria Lagoon.The macroinvertebrate prey important to calidrids in theFraternidad system were Dasyhelea (Diptera), Trichocorixa(Hemiptera), and Artemia (Anostraca). Changes in invertebrateabundance coincided with fluctuations in salinity. (100 page document)

    Description: West Indian manatees (Trichechus manatus) occur throughout the year inrivers, estuaries and coastal areas of Florida (Moore 1951, Hartman 1974,Irvine and Campbell 1978, Irvine et al. 1981). Manatees are widely dispersedalong the Gulf and Atlantic Coasts of the southeastern U.S. during the summermonths and aggregate at traditional warm water wintering sites during coolermonths (Hartman 1974, Powell and Waldron 1978, Rose and McCutcheon 1980,Rathbun et al. 1982, Powell and Rathbun 1983, Shane 1983). Their winterrange on the east coast of Florida extends as far north as Jacksonville(Hartman 1974, Rathbun et al. 1983, Kinnaird and Valade 1983) but manateesare sighted most frequently in the northeastern region of the peninsuladuring the summer months (Moore 1951, Hartman 1974, Irvine and Campbell1978). Recent evidence suggests that manatees in northeastern Florida arenot discrete subpopulations and that manatees make seasonal north/southmigrations along the eastern coastal waterways (Hartman 1974, Shane 1983,Rathbun et al. 1983, Kinnaird and Valade 1983).Northeastern Florida has the highest known manatee mortality in thestate, including the highest incidence of deaths due to collisions withboats, particularly in the St. Johns River and Brevard County (O'Shea et al.in prep.). It is difficult to develop wise management policies for thisregion because spatial and temporal use of northeastern Florida by manateeshas not been fully documented. The nature and extent of boat traffic alsohas not been described. I conducted aerial surveys for one complete year over the lower reachesof the St. Johns River and the northeastern section of the ICW (southernVolusia County to Kings Bay, Georgia) to document the spatial and temporalpatternLt~at characterize manatee use of northeast Florida, and to describethe nature and extent of boat traffic. The development of managementpractices based on these patterns should help minimize resource conflicts andpossibly reduce manatee boat/barge mortality. (60 page document)

    Description: This report documents breeding numbers, reproductive success, and foragingdispersion of long-legged wading birds in the Water Conservation Areas (WCAs) of theEverglades during the first six months of 1993. Briefly, the 1993 spring had abnormallyhigh water and windy conditions throughout the season, and produced poor nesting effort,low to moderate nesting success, and low production of young. Some species, like WoodStorks and White Ibises, did not nest at all in the WCAs. Others, like Great Egrets andTricolored Herons, showed considerably tenacity under the extremely poor nestingconditions. The 1993 season provided a rare chance to record the reproductive responses ofwading birds during sustained high water conditions. (108 page document)

    Description: Eglin AFB on Cape San Blas consists of approximately 250 acres located about180 miles east of the main Eglin reservation. This area lies on the S1. Joseph peninsula,part of a dynamic barrier island chain that extends across the northern Gulf of Mexico.Due to the natural forces that formed Cape San Blas and those that maintain this area, St.Joseph Peninsula has experienced severe land form change over time (see GIS land formchange maps). These changes allow for fluctuations in habitat types along Cape San Blas(see GIS land cover change maps)that influence the floral and faunal species using thisarea.The dynamic environment along Cape San Blasincludes flatwoods, interdunalswale, rosemary scrub, and beachfront. These habitats support a wide array of species,including several threatened and endangered species such as the loggerhead sea turtle(Caretta caretta), PipingPlover (Charadnus melodus), Least Tern (Sterna antillarum),and Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus). Proper management of these species and theirhabitats require knowledge of their abundance and distribution, and the effectsdisturbances have on their survival.In addition to threatened and endangered flora and fauna, Cape San Blas alsosupports tourists and recreationists. Although Gulf County is sparsely populated, withapproximately 13,000 inhabitants throughout 578 square miles, summer tourism and heavyrecreational use of beaches for fishing, crabbing, and shelling place continued andincreasing pressure on the natural resources of these areas (Rupert 1991). Gulf County isalso one of the few remaining counties in Florida that permits vehicular traffic on itsbeaches, including Cape San Blas. In addition to recreational use of these habitats;EAFBalso uses the area for military missions. Air Force property on Cape San Blas is primarilyused for radar tracking of flying missions over the Gulf of Mexico, although in recentyears it has been used for missile launchings and other various military activities.To allow continued military and public use of Air Force property while alsoprotecting the unique flora and fauna of the area,EAFB proposed a characterization of theresources found along Cape San Blas. A complete inventory of the physical features of thearea included investigating topography, soil chemistry, hydrology, archeology, and thedynamics of land mass and land cover change over time. Various thematic layers within ageographic information system (GIS) were used to spatially portray georeferenced data.Large scale changes over time were assessed using stereo aerial photography. Vegetationtransects, soil samples, elevation transects, an archeological survey, freshwater wells, anda tidal monitor were used to investigate the remaining features. (247 page document)

    Description: The Suwannee River sill was constructed following extensive wildfires during1954-1955, with the intent of protecting the swamp and surrounding uplands from effectsof wildfires. During subsequent years, concern was raised that the dam might beadversely affecting the swamp ecology by extending periods of inundation, increasingwater depths, and subsequently affecting swamp vegetation. Delineating the effects ofthe Suwannee River sill on the swamp hydrologic environment and vegetationdistributions, in the process of exploring relationships among driving functions andlandscape responses, was a purpose of this research.(834 page document)

    Description: This study presents the third post-nourishment survey (January 1989) results forthe Sand Key Phase II beach nourishment project carried out in June, 1988. Themonitoring program to this beach nourishment project is a joint effort betweenthe University of South Florida and University of Florida. The field surveysinclude a total of 26 profiles, encompassing approximately 3 miles of shorelineextending from DNR R-96 to R-1ll. The total calculated volume loss of sand inthe nourished segment (from R-99G to R-107) between the July 88 and January 89surveys is 51,113 cubic yards, which is a loss about 9.7 percent of 529,150 cubicyards actually placed in the nourishment project. The total loss of sand computedin the entire survey area is 26,796 cubic yards, which is only 5.1 percent of thesand placed in the nourishment project. It is stressed that a part of these netvolume reductions is due to the background erosion and not due to spreading lossesinduced by the nourishment project. (PDF contains 168 pages.)

    Description: Registered boats less than 26 feet in Florida have expanded from 449,995 in 1982 to 620,548 in 1993,a 38 percent increase. Boats of this size are likely to be trailered to boat ramps for access towater bodies in and around the state. This increased demand for boat ramps has been accompanied bymany studies and surveys indicating a need for more public boat ramps and that existing ramps needimprovement. This report covers boat ramp issues and boaters' willingness to pay for manatee protection. (106pp.)

    Description: This report presents the results of laboratory studies which were carried out in the Coastaland Oceanographical Engineering Laboratory to investigate the effects of ground water tableelevations on the beach profile changes over the swash zone. The experiment was conducted atthree different water table levels while the other experimental conditions were fixed to constantvalues with regular waves. The water table levels included (1) normal water table level whichis the same as mean sea level, (2) a higher level and (3) a lower level than the mean sealevel. Special attention was given to the higher water level to investigate whether this levelenhances erosion of the beach face and also to methods of interpreting the experimental data.The experiment described herein was carried out with a fairly fine sand and has demonstratedthe significance of beach water table on profile dynamics. The increased water table levelcaused distinct effects in three definite zones. First, erosion occurred at the base of the beachface and the sand eroded was carried up and deposited on the upper portion of the beachface. Secondly, the bar trough deepened considerably and rapidly and the eroded sand wasdeposited immediately landward. This depositional area changed from mildly erosional tostrongly depositional. Third, the area seaward of the bar eroded with a substantial deepening.The lowered water table appeared to result in a much more stable beach and the resultingeffects were much less. The only noticeable trend was a limited deposition in the scour area atthe base of the beach face. (Document has 37 pages.)

    Description: Cape San Bias is located on a barrier spit, St. Joseph peninsula, between St. Joseph Bay and the Gulf of Mexico in Gulf County, Florida (Fig. 1). Locally, the name of the cape is often used to refer to the entire peninsula. St. JosephPeninsula State Park (SJPSP) comprises the northern 10 miles of the 22 mile-long peninsula. This section is closed to development and provides protection for representative coastal habitats, including sand dune and scrub pine. Two other parks are found on the peninsula, Joe B. Rish Park, a state-managed facility for the handicapped, and county-managed Salinas Park. Much of the cape itself fallsunder the domain of Eglin Air Force Base (AFB) (775 acres), and includes 2.8 miles of shoreline. The remainder of the peninsula is privately owned land developed principally for beach residences. All beach on the peninsula below mean highwater is state-owned with Gulf County exercising proprietary jurisdiction. Cape San Bias (outside the state park) is the only area in the Florida panhandle, other than short stretches of shore in Walton County, where beach driving is still allowed. Vehicular access to the shore is managed by Gulf County under a permit system. Although beach driving is valued by local surf anglers and beachfarers, concerns have been raised regarding its effects on beachfarer safety, habitat quality, and wildlife, particularly locally occurring species that are federally listed as endangered or threatened. Eglin AFB property on the cape is believed to provide important regional habitat for a variety of nesting and migrant shorebirds, as well as nesting loggerhead marine turtles (Caretta caretta). The objectives of this study were to (1) determine the magnitude and types of vehicular traffic on Eglin AFB property; (2) assess current knowledge of federally listed species on Cape San Bias to determine distribution, habitat needs and other biological requirements; (3) conduct surveys of marine turtle nesting activities in cooperation with other entities on the peninsula; (4) assess the relationship between human/vehicular disturbance and the federally listed species; (5) conduct a winter survey of federally listed shorebirds on Air Force property; and (6) providemanagement options.

    Description: During 1983 and 1984 the effect of low level military trainingflights on the establishment. size and reproductive success of wadingbird colonies was studied in Florida. Based on the indirect evidenceof colony distributions and turnover rates in relation to militaryareas (training routes designated to 500 feet or less above groundlevel and military operations areas). there was no demonstrated effectof military activity on wading bird colony establishment or size on astatewide basis. Colony distributions were random with respect tomilitary areas and turnover rates were within 2% when military andnon-military areas were compared. Colony distributions and turnoverrates, however. were related to the amount and type.Les tuer-tne orfreshwater) of wetland. respectively.During two breeding seasons the behavioral responses andreproductive success of selected species were monitored in anon-habituated treatment colony (military overflights) and a controlcolony (no overflights). Breeding wading birds responded to F-16overflights at 420 knots indicated airspeed. 82-84% maximum rpm. 500feet above ground level and sound levels ranging from 55-100 dBA byexhibiting no response. looking up or changing position (usually to analert posture): no productivity limiting responses were observed.High-nesting Great Egrets responded more than other species, nestlingGreat Egrets and Cattle Egrets responded significantly (r 〈.05) moreintensely than adults of their respective species, and adultsresponded less during incubation and late chick-rearing than at othertimes. In addition, no differences in adult attendance, aggressiveinteractions or chick feeding rates were observed to result from F-16 overflights. No evidence of habituation to overflights was noted.Humans entering the colony or airboats approaching the colony vicinityelicited the most severe responses (flushing and panic flights)observed at both sites.Since relatively little coastal military activity occurs at lowlevels ( ~500 ft) and only one Brown Pelican colony (5-6% of thebreeding population) was located in such an area, the reproductivesuccess of five, more lIexposedll study species (Great Egrets, SnowyEgrets, Tricolored Herons, Little Blue Herons, Cattle Egrets) nestingin interior freshwater colonies was studied. Reproductive activityincluding such factors as nest success, nestling survival, nestlingmortality, and nesting chronology was independent of F-16 overflightsbut related to ecological factors including colony location, colonycharacteristics and climatology. The responses to and effects of F-16overflights, as reported here, should not be considered representativeof military aircraft at lower altitudes or greater noise levels. (194 pages)

    Description: To predict the hydrodynamics of lakes, estuaries and shallow seas, a two 'dimensionalnumerical model is developed using the method of fractional steps. Thegoverning equations, i.e., the vertically integrated Navier-Stokes equations of fluidmotion, are solved through three steps: advection, diffusion and propagation. Thecharacteristics method is used to solve the advection, the alternating direction implicitmethod is applied to compute the diffusion, and the conjugate gradient iterativemethod is employed to calculate the propagation. Two ways to simulatethe moving boundary problem are studied. The first method is based on the weirformulation. The second method is based on the assumption that a thin water layerexists over the entire dry region at all times. A number of analytical solutions areused to validate the model. The model is also applied to simulate the wind drivencirculation in Lake Okeechobee, Florida.(135 page document)

    Description: Production measurements at different times of the year indicate a linear relationship of light intensity and overall production at about 8% of the visible light energy reaching plant level. Measurements of a coral reef at Eniwetok indicate 6%. Further evidence of breeding at all seasons but with a quantitative pulse in the seasons of maximum light indicates that the seasonal fluctuation in primary production is routed through reproduction rather than through major changes in populations. The succession of plants and anmals of the aufwuchs has been shown with glass slides and counts from Sagittaria blades. Losss of oxygen bubbles during the day and emergence of aquatic insects at night have been measured with funnels. Bell jar measurements are reported for bacterial metabolism on mud surfaces. pH determined CO2 uptake agrees with titration determinations. A few rough estimates of herbivore production have been made from caged snails, aufwuchs succession, and fish tagging. Nitrate uptake a night by aufwuchs communities has been confirmed in a circulating microcosm experiment as well as in bell jars in the springs. Distributions of oxygen and organisms have been used to criticize the saprobe stream classification system. Theoretical consideration of maximum photosynthetic rates in teh literature data indicates logarithmic rate variation inversely with organismal size just as for respiratory metabolism. Extreme pyramid shapes are thus shown for communities in which organismal size decreases up the food chain and for other communities with the same energy influx but with organismal size increasing up the food chain. Literature data is used to further demonstrate the validity of the optimum efficiency-maximum power principle for photosynthesis. Work on plants by Dr. Delle Natelson indicates essential stability of aquatic plant communities after 3 years and about 10-20% reproducibility in previous biomass estimates by Davis. Work on an animal picture of the fishery characteristics by Caldwell, Barry, and Odum is half completed. The study of aquatic insects in relationship to spring gradients by W.C. Sloan has been completed an an M.S. thesis. J. Yount has begun a study of affect of total productivity on community composition using aufwuchs organisms on glass slides placed in different current and light conditions in Silver Springs. (49pp.)

    Description: Executive Summary. We surveyed for seven species ofsensitve wildlife (Florida gopher frogs,gopher tortoise, eastern indigo snake, eastern diamondback rattlesnake, Florida mouse, Floridaroundtail muskrat, Sherman's fox squirrel) between October 1996 and May 1998 at Avon ParkAir Force Range (APR). The presence of 87 other species ofamphibians, reptiles, and mammalsalso were detected. Selected species ofbirds were noted, particularly if they were found dead onAPR roads. We recorded nine new county records ofamphibians and reptiles from Polk andHighlands counties, based on range maps presented in Ashton and Ashton (1981, 1985, 1988).We discuss a biogeographic model based on the vertebrates recorded from APR, the Lake WalesRidge, and the low dune region along SR 64 to explain some of the distributional anomaliesassociated with the Bombing Range Ridge and vicinity.

    Description: The West Indian manatee's metabolic physiology constrains it to subtropical and tropicalregions. In waters of the United States, a manatee's ability to find reliable warm-water refugiaduring winter cold periods is critical to its survival. This report documents how radio-taggedmanatees used a network of 14 industrial and 3 "natural" warm-water sites along the east coastof Florida and Georgia duringwinter. Most industrial sites were powerplant discharges but alsoincluded pulp mill effluents. TheU. S. Geological Survey's SireniaProject tracked 71 manateesover 12 winter seasons (1986-1998) using field-based VHF radio-telemetry and Argos satellite based telemetry.Thirty-seven individuals weretracked over periodsofat least 100daysbetween November and March of a given winter, manyfor multiple years. Presence at a warmwaterrefugewasdefinedas a location occurring within 200m (for a VHF field observation) orwithin 1 km (for a satellite-determined location) ofthe site. (133 page document)

    Description: The South Florida Ecosystem encompasses an area of approximately 28,000 km2 comprising at least 11major physiographic provinces, including the Kissimmee River Valley, Lake Okeechobee, the Immokalee Rise, theBig Cypress, the Everglades, Florida Bay, the Atlantic Coastal Ridge, Biscayne Bay, the Florida Keys, the FloridaReef Tract, and nearshore coastal waters. South Florida is a heterogeneous system of wetlands, uplands, coastalareas, and marine areas, dominated by the watersheds of the Kissimmee River, Lake Okeechobee, and theEverglades.Prior to drainage, wetlands dominated the ecosystem, covering most of central and southern Florida. Thelandscapes included swamp forests; sawgrass plains; mosaics of sawgrass, tree islands, and ponds; marl-formingprairies dominated by periphyton; wet prairies dominated by Eleocharis and Nymphaea; freshwater marshes;saltwater marshes; cypress strands; and a vast lake-river system draining into Lake Okeechobee. Elevated areasthat did not flood supported pine flatwoods, pine rocklands, scrub, tropical hardwood hammocks, and xerichammocks dominated by oaks. The natural seascapes of South Florida consisted of riverine and fringe mangroveforests; beaches and dunes; seagrass beds; intertidal flats; mud banks; hardbottom communities; coral reefs; andopen, inshore shallows. All these habitats were interconnected on an extremely low topographic gradient (2.8cm/km) with elevations ranging from about 6 m at Lake Okeechobee to below sea level at Florida Bay.The Science SUb-Group (1993) described the defining characteristics of the South Florida Ecosystem and the problems that resulted from hydrologic alterations and other anthropogenic changes.Restoration objectives were proposed for each sub-regionand the region as a whole.The overall goal of the restoration effort is to restore a sustainable South Florida Ecosystem that preservesthe valued properties of South Florida's natural systems and supports productive agriculture-, fishery-, and tourist.based economies and a high quality of urban life. Sustainability means high natural productivity, human andecosystem health, and resiliency to climatic extremes and catastrophic events. It also means accommodation ofneeds of human systems-flood control, irrigation, and drinking water supply.SCOPEThis section addresses the entire ecosystem, cutting across the artificial boundaries of designatedsubregions, as well as geopolitical and geomorphological boundaries, to present the broader issues of deVelopingan interagency and interdisciplinary ecosystem-based science program to support South Florida restoration. Herewe discuss the general premise and the general approach, with brief discussions on monitoring, modeling, andspecial studies. The latter two topics are covered in greater detail in other sections.

    Description: Diking and holding water on salt marshes ("impounding" the marsh) is amanagement technique used on Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge(MINWR) and elsewhere in the Southeast to: a) prevent the reproduction ofsaltmarsh mosquitos, and b) attract wintertering waterfowl and other marsh,shore, and wading birds. Because of concern that diking and holding watermay interfere with the production of estuarine fish and shellfish,impoundment managers are being asked to consider altering managementprotocol to reduce or eliminate any such negative influence. How to changeprotocol and preserve effective mosquito control and wildlife management isa decision of great complexity because: a) the relationships betweenestuarine organisms and the fringing salt marshes at the land-water interfaceare complex, and b) impounded marshes are currently good habitat for avariety of species of fish and wildlife. Most data collection by scientistsand managers in the area has not been focused on this particularproblem. Furthermore, collection of needed data may not be possible beforechanges in protocol are demanded. Therefore, the purpose of this documentis two-fold: 1) to suggest management alternatives, given existing information,and 2) to help identify research needs that have a high probabilityof leading to improved simultaneous management of mosquitos, waterfowl,other wildlife, freshwater fish, and estuarine fish and shellfish on themarshland of the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge.
