Hurricane Irma effects on Florida Everglades Mangroves: Assessment of Resilience and Trajectories of Recovery

Hurricane Irma effects on Florida Everglades Mangroves: Assessment of Resilience and Trajectories of Recovery. Research Permit and Reporting System

In neotropical northern latitudes such as south Florida, hurricanes are recurring high-energy disturbances in coastal regions that significantly change community structure and function of mangrove wetlands. Our proposed research will test the extent and duration of Hurricane Irma’s impacts (September 2017) on species-specific responses, community and ecosystem trajectories, and resilience capacity (i.e., recovery duration and rate) in mangrove forests across the Everglades landscape.
