Meetings

Each year, the Florida Coastal Everglades LTER All Scientists Meetings give FCE personnel an opportunity to present research results from the past year and discuss ideas for future research.

The All Scientists Meeting is an opportunity for all FCE members (including out-of-state collaborators, students and our outside advisors) to get together and share ideas.

Phase I (2006 - 2000)

FCE research began in 2000 with a focus on providing an understanding of key coastal ecosystem processes while also developing a platform for and linkages to related work in the wider Everglades research community. The primary research objective was to determine how freshwater from oligotrophic (nutrient-poor) marshes interacts with a marine source of the limiting nutrient, phosphorus (P), to control productivity in the estuarine ecotone — the zone where freshwater and marine supplies meet in the coastal Everglades.
