  • Response by Two Endangered Pine Rockland Plants to Mechanical Vegetation Thinning Treatment in the Lower Florida Keys
    RESPONSE BY TWO ENDANGERED PINE ROCKLAND PLANTS TO MECHANICAL VEGETATION THINNING TREATMENT IN THE LOWER FLORIDA KEYS Kate Guerena Watts, Wildlife Biologist Florida Keys National Wildlife Refuges Complex 28950 Watson Boulevard, Big Pine Key, FL 33043, USA INTRODUCTION Pine rocklands are a globally endangered ecosystem found only in the Lower Florida Keys, Everglades National Park, and in scattered parcels in Miami-Dade County. They are limited to less than 3 percent of their original extent due to conversion to other land uses, significant ecological degradation and destruction (Noss et al. 1995). Pine rocklands consist of an open canopy of slash pines with patchy understory and groundcover layers. The south Florida slash pine (Pinus ellioti var. densa) and palms (Coccothrinax argentata, Thrinax morrisii, Thrinax radiata, and Serenoa repens) are fire-adapted and dependent on periodic fires for their long-term persistence (Snyder et al. 1990). Sub-canopy layers include a diverse assemblage of tropical and temperate shrubs, palms, grasses, and herbs (Folk 1991). Pine rocklands occur at an elevation of 3 to 8 feet above mean sea level and are usually underlain by a freshwater lens. Pine rocklands found on Big Pine Key have the highest plant diversity of all plant communities in the Florida Keys. Over 240 species of plants have been identified in the pine rocklands of South Florida and the Lower Keys. This community contains 14 herbs endemic to South Florida, 5 of which occur only in the Lower Keys (Avery and Loope 1980). Common plants associated with pine rocklands include long-stalked stopper, blackbead, Keys thatch palm, silver palm, and locustberry.
