1995 - 2007 Ecosystem History of South Florida's Estuaries Database Version 8

The 1995 - 2007 Ecosystem History of South Florida's Estuaries Database contains listings of all sites (modern and core), modern monitoring site survey information (water chemistry, floral and faunal data, etc.), and published core data. Two general types of data are contained within this database: 1) Modern Field Data and 2) Core data - primarily faunal assemblages. Data are available for modern sites and cores in the general areas of Florida Bay, Biscayne Bay, and the southwest (Florida) coastal mangrove estuaries. Specific sites in the Florida Bay area include Taylor Creek, Bob Allen Key, Russell Bank, Pass Key, Whipray Basin, Rankin Bight, park Key, and Mud Creek core). Specific Biscayne Bay sites include Manatee Bay, Featherbed Bank, Card bank, No Name Bank, Middle Key, Black Point North, and Chicken Key. Sites on the southwest coast include Alligator Bay, Big Lostmans Bay, Broad River Bay, Roberts River mouth, Tarpon Bay, Lostmans River First and Second Bays, Harney River, Shark River near entrance to Ponce de Leon Bay, and Shark River channels. Modern field data contains (1) general information about the site, description, latitude and longitude, date of data collection, (2) water chemistry information, and (3) descriptive text of fauna and flora observed at the site. Core data contain either percent abundance data or actual counts of the distribution of mollusks, ostracodes, forams, and pollen within the cores collected in the estuaries. For some cores dinocyst or diatom data may be available.1995-2007年南佛罗里达河口生态系统历史数据库（1995 - 2007 Ecosystem History of South Florida's Estuaries Database）收录了所有调查点位（现代点位与岩心点位）的相关清单、现代监测点位的调查信息（包括水化学、动植物群落数据等）以及已发表的岩心数据。 本数据库共包含两大类数据：1）现代野外数据；2）岩心数据——以动物群落组合为主。 该数据库覆盖佛罗里达湾、比斯坎湾以及佛罗里达西南沿海红树林河口区域的现代点位与岩心点位。佛罗里达湾区域的具体点位包括泰勒溪、鲍勃·艾伦礁、拉塞尔滩、帕斯礁、惠普雷盆地、兰金湾、帕克礁以及穆德溪岩心；比斯坎湾的具体点位包括海牛湾、费瑟贝德滩、卡德滩、无名滩、中礁、北黑角以及鸡礁；西南沿海的点位包括短吻鳄湾、大洛斯特曼斯湾、布罗德河湾、罗伯茨河河口、大海鲢湾、洛斯特曼斯河第一湾与第二湾、哈尼河、蓬塞德莱昂湾入口附近的鲨鱼河以及鲨鱼河航道。 现代野外数据包含以下三类内容：(1) 调查点位的基础信息、点位描述、经纬度以及数据采集日期；(2) 水化学相关信息；(3) 点位观测到的动植物群落的描述性文本。 岩心数据包含河口采集岩心中的两类信息：一是物种相对丰度百分比数据，二是软体动物、介形类、有孔虫以及花粉分布的实际计数数据。部分岩心还附带沟鞭藻囊孢或硅藻相关数据。
