Florida Bay Ecospace model from: Tropical estuarine ecosystem change under the interacting influences of future climate and ecosystem restoration

These data include the spatial and temporal time series required to run
the Florida Bay Ecospace model (available through
http://ecobase.ecopath.org/. One of the largest restoration programs in
the world, the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) aims to
restore freshwater inputs to Everglades wetlands and the Florida Bay
estuary. This study predicted how the Florida Bay ecosystem may respond to
hydrological restoration from CERP within the context of contemporary
projected impacts of sea-level rise (SLR) and increased future
temperatures. A spatial–temporal dynamic model (Ecospace) was used to
develop a spatiotemporal food web model incorporating environmental
drivers of salinity, salinity variation, temperature, depth, distance to
mangrove, and seagrass abundance and was used to predict responses of
biomass, fisheries catch, and ecosystem resilience between current and
future conditions. These data include initial parameters needed for the
base Ecopath model, time series data needed for Ecosim, and spatiotemporal
data needed for Ecospace to allow for the reproducibility of this study
comparing the current future condition scenarios of this study.
