Florida Coastal Everglades-Long Term Ecological Research Network (LTER)

The Florida Everglades LTER site is investigating how variability in regional climate, freshwater inputs, disturbance, and perturbations affect the coastal Everglades ecosystem. Florida Coastal Everglades research sites are located in the Shark River Slough and Taylor Slough Panhandle drainage basins along a freshwater-marine gradient within Everglades National Park. This information was obtained in part from the Florida Coastal Everglades LTER website fcelter.fiu.edu/ .

The Florida Coastal Everglades LTER site is part of the Long Term Ecological Research Network, which is funded by the National Science Foundation, and accessible at www.lternet.edu. Data are one of the most valuable products of the LTER program. The goal of the Network is to provide fast, effective, and open access to LTER data.
