Everglades
Everglades The low, flat plains area of southern Florida, USA, which is subject to periodic freshwater flooding. In summer the area becomes swampy, but in winter it is extremely dry.
Cladium effusum is widespread. Scattered trees include palms, and pines occur on higher ground. Within the same area small, isolated,
tropical rainforest communities, locally termed hammocks, are found. The coastal areas are renowned for their
mangrove swamps.
