Biogeochemical data collected from Northeast Shark River Slough, Everglades National Park, Florida, USA, 2006 - ongoing

This project was established in 2006 to document the pattern of abundance of key ecological indicators (e.g., surface water, soil, floc, periphyton and sawgrass) across the NESRS landscape. A total of 30 sites were established and monitored in 2006, 2007 and 2008. After the completion of 1-mile bridge in 2012, additional 10 new sites were established to observe the ecological impact of 1-mile bridge (known as Bridge & Census sites). In 2015, additional 40 sites were established along eight transects (T1-T8, known as near canal sites) in ENP marshes starting at, and roughly perpendicular to the L-29 canal. The purpose of these sites was to monitor the potential effects of Modified Water Deliveries (MWD) operations on changing nutrient concentrations and ratios in key ecological compartments due to increased downstream discharges from the L-29 canal beneath the 1-mile and 2.6-mile bridges and culverts along Tamiami Trail.

本项目于2006年启动，旨在记录NESRS区域内关键生态指标（如地表水、土壤、絮凝物（floc）、周丛生物（periphyton）与锯齿草（sawgrass））的丰度分布模式。2006、2007及2008年，共设立并监测了30个监测点位。2012年1英里桥建成后，新增10个点位以观测该桥梁（亦称桥与普查点位）对生态系统的影响。2015年，研究团队在埃弗格莱兹国家公园（Everglades National Park, ENP）的沼泽区域沿8条样带（T1-T8，亦称近运河点位）增设40个点位，该类样带始于L-29运河且大致与其垂直。此类点位的设立目的是监测改良输水（Modified Water Deliveries, MWD）作业带来的潜在影响：由于L-29运河经塔米亚米小径沿线的1英里桥、2.6英里桥及涵洞向下游的排水量增加，可能会改变关键生态分区内的营养盐浓度及其比值。
