SR samples are along the Shark River Slough complex. The 86 sample sites used for statistical anal- ysis are shown (modified from Riegel. 1965). munities occur where tidal channels and river systems compete for dominance of influence in a given area. Fires, hurricanes, droughts, floods, and freezing tem- peratures also control the distribution and extent of vegetation communities; however, the long-term ef- fects of such forces are not well understood (Olmstead and Loope, 1984; Gunderson and Snyder, 1992). Veg- etation communities in southwestern Florida, particu- larly in Everglades National Park, vary in complexity. Some communities are dominated by a few species, while others are composed of more complex mixtures with no truly dominant species. The vegetation com- munities used in this study were described by Riegel (1965) based on the work of Davis (1943) and Love- less (1959). Gunderson (1994) provided a detailed de- scription of freshwater marsh and tree island commu-.
