Vegetative Changes in a Wetland in the Vicinity of a Well Field, Dade County, Florida

摘要

The purpose of the report is to describe: (1) the vegetation in the area before operation of the well field began; (2) any change in vegetation occurring in response to regional changes in hydrologic conditions, independent of the operation of the well field; (3) the vegetation in the area at the end of 3 years of well-field operation; and (4) to the extent possible, identify the effects of well-field operation on vegetation in the area. Data collected during the investigation will also serve as a baseline for assessing future changes in vegetation.
