> abstract Sheet Flow in Vegetated Wetlands of the Everglades
Three stations were established in 1999 and 2000 to monitor
flows and related hydrologic conditions in differing vegetative
communities within Shark River Slough (fig. 1). Monitoring
station SH1 was established in medium dense spikerush
(Eleocharis) on the edge of a dense sawgrass (Cladium
jamaicense) stand; GS-203 was located in medium dense sawgrass
at the edge of dense sawgrass; and GS-33 was established in an
area of patchy, medium dense spikerush with significant
concentrations of submerged aquatic vegetation and periphyton.
All three stations were co-located with hydrologic stations to
provide water level and rainfall data for flow analyses.
Additionally, GS-33 was located near a gage that provided
meteorological data for use in flow analyses. Flow velocities,
water and air temperatures, and specific conductances w
