Marl and Rocky Flat Wetlands of the Florida Everglade - Reference Domain
According to Smith et al (1995), the reference domain is the geographic area occupied by the
reference wetland sites. The reference domain for this guidebook is the freshwater Everglades
in portions of the southern six counties of Florida (Figure 2). The model variables are
calibrated based on reference wetland sites located in Broward, Collier, Dade, Hendry, Monroe,
and Palm Beach Counties (Appendix D). However, the functional models in this guidebook may
apply to organic flat wetlands outside of the reference domain (rocky and marl soil types are
thought to be confined to the south Florida Everglades). Application of these models to areas
outside south Florida is at the discretion of the user.
