Prolonged flooding decreased stem density, tree size and shifted composition towards clonal species in a central Florida hardwood swamp

2003-02-01

Abstract excerpt

Human modifications of the landscape often cause changes in regional surface and subsurface water flow that in turn can result in alterations in the natural cycle of flooding and drawdown in wetland ecosystems. In the present study, excessive flooding resulting from altered land-use activities increased mortality in wetland tree communities. We investigated tree decline status, tree size, species composition, and...
