Adaptation to Climate Change and the Everglades Ecosystem

Abstract: Water management, development, and farming continue to degrade the structure and function of the Florida Everglades. Global climate change is expected to exacerbate these anthropogenic impacts. This article explores the historical and current adulteration of the Everglades, reviews the expected effects of climate change on the ecosystem, and recommends an amendment to the farm bill to support the implementation of adaptive management to increase climate resilience.

“…Levees and canals have changed the area's hydrological system and also disturbed the natural north-to-south flow pattern [210]. Due to decades of residential and agricultural growth, increased nutrient pollution from upstream activities degraded the water quality in the Everglades [211][212][213][214]. The extent of nutrient loading in the Florida Everglades is mainly found in adjacent water inflow points or canals; therefore, the peripheral area is nutrient effected, whereas interior parts of the wetland are less impacted [215].…”
