Broadleaf marsh once covered much of the wetland landscape along the Kissimmee River in central Florida, USA, but is currently restricted to remnant portions of the channelized floodplain that have been subjected to much shallower depths. The initial phase of Kissimmee River restoration, which began in 1999, and a prior (1984–1990) demonstration project increased water depths in several relict broadleaf...
After channellization of the Kissimmee River, the primary land use of the drained floodplain was cattle pasture but included sod farms. A project to restore the river began in 1999. One of its goals is to reestablish the three dominant, pre-channelization vegetation types (wetland shrub, broadleaf marsh, and wet prairie) in areas where they previously were found. We investigated whether indicator...
The composition of seed banks of areas on the drained Kissimmee River floodplain (Florida, USA) that are currently pasture and formerly had been wet prairie, broadleaf marsh, and wetland shrub communities was compared to that of seed banks of areas that have extant stands of these communities. The species composition of the seed banks of existing wet prairie and former wet prairie sites were the most...
We evaluated effects of rooting by feral hogs (Sus scrofa) on total emergent vegetation cover, vegetation species richness, and diversity of plant-defined microhabitat types in an impounded floodplain marsh in central Florida. Data were collected in 6 split-plots (rooted and control) over 10 post-rooting, monthly sampling periods. Hog rooting led to reduced plant cover in broadleaf marsh habitats...
