Phase III (2018 - 2012)

In Phase III, the FCE program has expanded its capacity in human dimensions research to explore how legacies of resource use decisions shape both the existing environment as well as future socio-ecological response to rapid climate and land-use change in this highly vulnerable landscape.

Phase II (2012 - 2007)

Phase II research focused further on the estuarine ecotones, particularly investigating how changes in freshwater flow brought about by restoration activities would impact ecosystem processes in these sensitive areas.

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.
