Abstract:

Florida tomato growers generate about $600 million of annual farm gate sales. The Florida Vegetable and Agronomic Crop Water Quality/Quantity Best Management Practices Manual was adopted by rule in the Florida Administrative Code in 2006 and describes cultural practices available to tomato growers that have the potential to improve water quality. By definition, BMPs are specific cultural practices that are proven to optimize yield while minimizing pollution. BMPs must be technically feasible, economically viable, socially acceptable, and based on sound science. The BMP manual for vegetables en

Abstract:

With public attention increasingly focused on the farm financial crisis, it seems fitting to examine in some depth the financial positions and lending experiences of agricultural banks. We will briefly present our perceptions of the farm situation and why conditions have deteriorated in the farm sector over the past decade. An overall look at national and regional farm debt follows with emphasis on the share extended by commercial banks. Following a look at the general banking environment, we then turn to a comprehensive examination of the situation in the Southeast defined here as the states

Abstract:

Given the geography and agroclimatic conditions of the Southeast, coupled with continued population expansion from in-migration, local foods markets may be a promising niche market for some farms in the region. The Southeast has more small farms than any other U.S. region. Using farm-level data, we address the question of how successful southeastern farms engaged in direct sales to consumers differ from other farms. We also include a case study of a marketing association in the panhandle of Florida. In both analyses, we focus on the role of the supply chain for direct sales in explaining farm

Abstract. A two-year study evaluated the nitrogen (N) fluxes, processing, and treatment efficiency (TE) of a 14.85 ha stormwater detention area (SDA) receiving drainage from a vegetable farm in subtropical Florida. The TE was 62% and 89% in years 1 and 2, respectively. Seepage N losses are often ignored in estimating stormwater treatment. Approximately 11% and 20% of the incoming N left the SDA through seepage, reducing the TE to 51% and 67% in years 1 and 2, respectively, indicating the importance of subsurface N losses for downstream water quality.

Florida ranks first among US states in fresh-market tomato production with annual production exceeding one-third of the total annual production in the country. Although tomato is a signature crop in Florida, current and future ambient temperatures could impose a major production challenge, especially during the fall growing season. This problem is increasingly becoming an important concern among tomato growers in south Florida, but studies addressing these concerns have not been conducted until now. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the impacts of the present ambient temperature

Abstract:

The coastal areas of Florida, United States, are exposed to increasing risk of flooding due to sea level rise as well as severe hurricanes. Florida regulations suggest constructing stormwater retention ponds as an option to retain excess runoff generated by the increased impervious area and to protect the environment by reducing pollutants from new developments. Groundwater level rise can significantly lower the soil storage capacity and infiltration at retention ponds, in turn, reducing the pond’s capacity to capture consecutive storms due to longer pond volume recovery time.

Abstract:

A laboratory study performed to evaluate pavement bearing characteristics by the Florida limerock bearing ratio (LBR) test is presented. The LBR is a modification of the California bearing ratio test and has been widely used in Florida for the design of pavement structures. The LBR evaluation is part of a larger research project studying existing pavement conditions in Florida. A field experimental program was recently conducted on 20 selected pavement sites across the state of Florida. The LBR test was performed on pavement soils obtained from the field test sites. The LBR test results were a

Abstract:

Timely identification of undesirable crack, ride, and rut conditions is a critical issue in pavement management systems at the network level. The overall pavement surface condition is determined by these individual pavement surface conditions. A research project was carried out to implement an overall methodology for pavement condition prediction that uses artificial neural networks (ANNs). In the research, three ANN models were developed to predict the three key indices—crack rating, ride rating, and rut rating—used by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) for pavement evaluation.

Historical data are often overlooked in risk assessments and recovery plans for marine animals, resulting in the “shifting baselines.” Historical ecological studies demonstrate the “surprising” extent to which contemporary assumptions misrepresent premodern baselines. The Florida manatee, a subspecies of the West Indian manatee found primarily in Florida, USA, faces several existential threats, but risk assessments and recovery targets for the species are hindered by poor understanding of historical baselines.

Spatial heterogeneity in habitat conditions within a landscape should influence degree of movement of species between natural and artificial environments. For wetland landscapes, this functional connectivity was predicted to emerge from the influence of spatiotemporal patterns of depth on permeability of habitat edges and distance and directedness of cross-habitat dispersal. We quantified how connectivity between canals and marshes of the Florida Everglades varies with species and landscape patterns bordering canals by using radio telemetry to measure movement of a native (Florida largemouth b

Abstract:

Florida Bay is a large, subtropical estuary whose salinity varies from yearly and seasonal changes in rainfall and freshwater inflows. Water management changes during the 20th century led to a long-term reduction in inflows that increased mean salinity, and the frequency and severity of hypersalinity. Climate change may exacerbate salinity conditions in Florida Bay; however, future salinity conditions have not been adequately evaluated. Here, we employed a Multilayer Feedforward Artificial Neural Network model to develop baseline salinity models for nearshore and offshore sites. Then, we exami

Southern Florida is underlain by rocks and sediments that naturally contain radioactive isotopes. The primary origin of the radioactive isotopes is Miocene-aged phosphate deposits that can be enriched in uranium-238 and its daughter isotopes. Nodular phosphate containing radionuclides from the Miocene has been reworked into younger formations and is ubiquitous in southern Florida. When the nodular phosphate is exposed to groundwater with geochemical conditions favorable for its dissolution, uranium, radium, and radon may be released into the groundwater system.
