Summary

Ecological models facilitate evaluation of alternative approaches to restore the Greater Everglades ecosystem. However, the provision of useful and accessible models is a challenge because there is often a disconnect between model output and its use by decision makers. Joint Ecosystem Modeling (JEM) meets this challenge by providing ecological model output tailored to management decisions. Ecological models (i.e., ecological planning tools) were developed and used by JEM during the Central Everglades Planning Project to evaluate potential effects to natural resources in the impacted areas. There is a desire by the planning agencies and bureaus involved in the Western Everglades Restoration Project (WERP) to use these same tools for [...]

Purpose

Provide high-resolution (400 m) ecological modeling output for evaluating the WERP round 5, which includes the hydrologic alternatives ALTHNF, ALTHR, WALT1R, WALT3R, and W3RNL. Compare the hydrologic alternative outputs for each ecological model to Existing Conditions Baseline (WECBRR) and Future Without (WFWOR). Hydrologic alternatives and baselines were provided by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD).
