The Everglades Experiments Lessons for Ecosystem Restoration

The Everglades Experiments Lessons for Ecosystem Restoration / by Curtis Richardson.

Covering more than 4,300 square miles in Southern Florida, the Everglades are the largest subtropical wilderness in the United States. It has been designated an International Biosphere Reserve, a World Heritage Site, and a Wetland of International Importance, in recognition of its significance to al...
