Gulf Coastal Plain Ecosystem Partnership. Steering Committee Meeting Number 2, Champion International Forest Genetics Research Center, June 22-23, 1999. Appendix F
Abstract
Perched, isolated wetlands in upland areas in the southeastern coastal plain are essential for a group of specialized vertebrates that tolerate highly variable hydroperiods. These ponds are particularly important as breeding sites for several upland amphibians with eggs and/or larvae that are vulnerable to fish predators. Several of these vertebrates are listed as declining species by the Florida Committee on Rare and Endangered Plants and Animals and/or the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission. In order to protect the ponds and their unique fauna, it is necessary to understand the role of wetland soils, specialized vegetation, and hydroperiod in the formation and maintenance of this habitat
