This grant is for supporting vital research aimed at the Greater Everglades Ecosystem restoration planning and scenario evaluation, specifically offered to members of the South Florida and Caribbean CESU. The funding targets studies that incorporate paleoecologic core analyses directly into hydrologic linear regression models. These analyses will utilize empirical observation-based data to meticulously construct robust linear regression models that effectively relate estuarine salinities to wetland hydrology across the Greater Everglades ecosystem. A primary purpose is to accurately reconstruct pre-alteration hydrologic conditions. This reconstruction is absolutely essential for establishing precise targets and measurable performance indicators crucial for the successful and comprehensive restoration of the Greater Everglades Ecosystem, providing critical data for future management.

| Description: | The US Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity to members of the South Florida and Caribbean CESU.
This opportunity is to support research to be performed for the Greater Everglades Ecosystem restoration planning and scenario evaluation. This study focuses on the incorporation of paleoecologic core analyses into hydrologic linear regression models. These analyses will utilize empirical observation-based data to construct linear regression models that relate estuarine salinities to wetland hydrology in the Greater Everglades ecosystem. These analyses will reconstruct pre-alteration hydrologic conditions, which are essential for establishing targets and performance measures for restoration of the Greater Everglades Ecosystem. |
