In the Florida Peninsula the amount of evergreens increases and species richness decreases as northern deciduous species (American Beech, White Oak) reach their southern limits. Upland Hardwood Forest in Central Florida , at the southern end of its range (especially along the Brooksville Ridge), is often hard to differentiate from Mesic Hammock .
Tree City USA sign in Wakefield, Massachusetts. There are more than 3,400 Tree Cities USA. The following is a partial listing of Tree Cities USA. [1] To be a Tree City, the community must meet four standards set by the National Arbor Day Foundation and the National Association of State Foresters:
River floodplain hardwood, Dry-mesic oak forest, Seasonally wet oak-hardwood woodland [28] Georgia: Fernbank Forest: 65 acres (26 ha) Piedmont Hardwood Forest: Tulip Poplar – Oak – Hickory [citation needed] Georgia: Big Trees Forest Preserve 30 acres (12 ha) Piedmont Hardwood Forest: oak-hickory-pine forest [29] [full citation needed] Illinois
The fire suppression policies since the 1930s have been a significant forest disturbance. [3] Today there is very little intact habitat in this ecoregion, with a reduction of bottomland hardwood forests by 70–95%, and only 0.02 percent of the original oak savannas remain. [3]
The Okaloacoochee Slough State Forest is in the U.S. state of Florida.The 32,039-acre (130 km 2) forest is located in the southwestern part of the state, near Felda.The forest gets its name from the Muskogee and when translated may mean "small bad water" [1] or "boggy slaw."
In the United States, the forest cover by state and territory is estimated from tree-attributes using the basic statistics reported by the Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program of the Forest Service. [2] Tree volumes and weights are not directly measured in the field, but computed from other variables that can be measured. [3] [4]
The park was originally known as Jungle Park, as 5.5 acres (2.2 ha) were set aside in 1913 by a group of individuals to preserve what is now one of the last remaining tracts (along with Alice Wainwright Park and a spot on Virginia Key) of Brickell Hammock, a tropical hardwood hammock which once ran from the Miami River to Coconut Grove.
Crocodile Lake National Wildlife Refuge was once entirely platted for residential development; however, accumulated deposits of dredge-spoils on the bayside of North Key Largo became an important nesting area for some of the country's remaining American crocodiles [1] which have recovered in recent years from a low, in 1975, of approximately 200 in population size.
