This Everglades National Park grant offers funding to conduct direct measurements of Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) in the coastal mangroves. The core purpose of this initiative is to establish a robust, long-term observational framework for the coastal landscape’s NEE. Such continuous monitoring provides crucial insights for resource managers, Everglades restoration planners, and the wider public. By analyzing how sea-level rise and watershed-scale restoration actions dynamically interact, this grant aims to foster a deeper understanding of their collective impact. This research is instrumental in accurately determining and predicting the physical condition and ecological resilience of the coastal landscape within Everglades National Park, thereby informing strategic conservation and restoration planning for the future.
