- 7. The Everglades is comprised of more than 100 marsh species that live in water all or much of the year. Its most well-known wetland plant is sawgrass, a normally hearty grass-like species that has formed thousands of acres of marshes. Label of Major Organisms CITATION: Godfrey, M. (2013)
- 8. • Cypress is probably the most recognized tree in the Everglades, and includes the dwarf and bald species. • Cypress require water to develop, and then can live on either dry land or in water as mature trees. They have unusual root systems producing “knees” that grow out of the earth which scientists think are used for breathing. Cypress trees shed their leaves in the fall – somewhat unusual in a subtropical environment. Another interesting tree found in the islands is the pond apple, which produces large, bitter, yellow-green fruit. Pond apples are a food source for some animals.

- 16. Summary • Settling begun in the 1900s with 3,000,000 acres • Many habitats of species are declining, endangered, or extinct. • Anacondas and Alligators dominate food chains • The restoration of the Everglades is an ongoing effort to remedy damage. • Major threats are invading species and humans (directly and indirectly). • After destructive practices, state and federal agencies continue toward balancing natural environment needs.
