“…This illustrates how model evaluation, with evolving questions and new data becoming available, can lead to the specification of new model (an arrow going back up in the flowchart to Step 16). In particular, GEFISH was aimed at estimating the spatial concentrations of fish during falling water levels in the complex ridge-and-slough region of the Everglades, which required higher spatial resolution than used in ALFISH (Yurek et al, 2013). Many of the same steps in developing ALFISH were repeated for GEFISH, though only a few will be mentioned specifically here.…”

“…vegetation. The sloughs are conduits for flow (Harvey et al 2009) and fish dispersal (Yurek et al 2013, Sokol et al 2014. Over the past century, ridge-and-slough landscape patterning has degraded, often through loss of sloughs and slough connectivity (Larsen et al 2012).…”

Understanding heterogeneity or patchiness in the distribution of vegetation and retention of C and nutrients in river corridors is critical for setting priorities for river management and restoration. Several mechanisms of spatial differentiation in nutrient retention in river and floodplain corridors have been recognized, but few studies have distinguished their relative importance or established their role in long-term geomorphic change, nutrient retention, and connectivity with downstream systems. We evaluated the ability of 3 mechanisms (evapotranspiration focusing [EF], differential hydrologic exchange [DHE], and particulate nutrient redistribution [PNR]) to explain spatial patterns of P retention and function in the Everglades (Florida, USA). We used field measurements in sloughs and on slightly higher, more densely vegetated ridges to quantify P fluxes attributable to the 3 mechanisms. EF does not explain Everglades nutrient retention or P concentrations on ridges and in sloughs. However, DHE resulting from different periods of groundwater-surface-water connectivity across topographic elements is the primary cause of elevated P concentrations on ridges and completely explains interpatch differences in long-term P accumulation rates. With historical flow velocities, which were an order of magnitude higher than at present, PNR would have further increased the interpatch difference in long-term P retention rates nearly 2-fold. In conclusion, DHE and PNR are the dominant drivers of nutrient patchiness in the Everglades and are hypothesized to be important in P-limited river and floodplain corridors globally.

“…Movement strategies of small forage fish (<8 cm total length) between temporary and permanent wetland habitats affect their overall population growth and biomass concentrations, i.e., availability to predators (Yurek et al, 2013). Model output showed that fish with the highest tendency to invade newly flooded marsh areas built up the largest populations over long time periods with stable hydrologic patterns.…”

This paper provides a review of the treatment technologies, which utilize natural processes or passive components in wastewater treatment. The paper primarily focuses on wetland systems and their applications in wastewater treatment (as an advanced treatment unit or decentralized system), nutrient and pollutant removal (single and multiple pollutants, and metals), and emerging pollutant removal (pharmaceuticals). A summary of studies involving the plant (vegetation) effects, wetland design and modeling, hybrid and innovative systems, storm water treatment and other issues such as climate change and greenhouse gas emissions is also provided.
