Analysis of Historic Water Quality Data

The Big Cypress National Preserve (BICY), the Everglades National Park (EVER), and Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge (LOX) are water-dominated ecosystems that are susceptible to water-quality impacts. A comprehensive analysis of historical water-quality and ancillary data is needed to direct the restoration of the Everglades and the adoption of water-quality standards in BICY, EVER, and LOX because of their designations as Outstanding Florida Waters.

大柏树国家保护区（Big Cypress National Preserve，BICY）、大沼泽地国家公园（Everglades National Park，EVER）与洛哈奇国家野生动物保护区（Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge，LOX）均为水主导型生态系统，易受水质变化影响。鉴于上述三处区域均被认定为佛罗里达杰出水域（Outstanding Florida Waters），需对其历史水质及辅助数据开展全面分析，以指导大沼泽地的生态修复工作，并为这三处区域的水质标准制定与推行提供依据。
