Summary

This release consists of vegetation data collected across an environmental gradient at Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge (TTI NWR) near Naples, Florida, USA. The refuge is within the impact area of the Picayune Strand Restoration Project (PSRP), a large-scale hydrologic restoration project in southwest Florida that was authorized by the U.S. Congress in 2007. Vegetation transects were located in the following wetland types on the refuge: brackish marsh, salt marsh, and transition marsh. Data from vegetation transects established in nearby areas outside of the PSRP impact area, in Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park (FSPSP) and Big Cypress National Preserve (BICY), are also included. The study spanned nine years, from [...]

Purpose

Vegetation data were first collected in 2007, prior to implementation of the PSRP, within a mangrove-marsh ecotone to establish baseline information on the state of vegetation within the impact area (TTI NWR) and outside of the impact area (FSPSP and BICY). Permanent transects for monitoring vegetation were established in 2007, and data were collected in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2014, and 2016 to document vegetation present.
