“…The area originally consisted of oligotrophic sawgrass (Cladium jamaicense Crantz) prairies and short-hydroperiod pinelands but was converted to farmland during the early part of the twentieth century (4,14). As preparation for the conversion to agriculture, intensive rock plowing pulverized underlying limestone bedrock and created coarse-textured, well-drained soil suitable for vegetable production (12).…”

“…Once consisting of oligotrophic sawgrass (Cladium jamaicense Crantz) prairies and short hydroperiod pinelands, the HID was subjected to agricultural land use practices for 60 years (10,20). Preagriculture, HID soils were characterized as shallow, poorly drained, and low in nutrient marls (19).…”

“…Plots within the HID are cleared one at a time, so plots representing a chronosequence of times since being cleared can be studied simultaneously. Several years will be required to completely clear the S. terebinthifolius Raddiaffected area (10). Following clearing, individual plots are left undisturbed to allow the natural restoration of microbial communities and colonization by native wetlands plants.…”

“…Hydroperiod and substrate modifications, including nutrient enrichment of the farmed soils, facilitated the invasion of Brazilian peppertree in this area Dunevitz 1981a, Li andNordland 2001). Dalrymple et al (2003) performed a pilot test beginning in 1989 to examine whether it was necessary to remove all soil down to consolidated bedrock to inhibit recolonization by Brazilian peppertree and permit wetland restoration in the HID. Two different soil treatments were established: 1) partial soil removal (PSR) consisted of all existing vegetation cover removed while a thin layer of rock-plowed substrate was left intact (6 ha), and 2) complete soil removal (CSR) with all the vegetative cover and underlying rock-plowed substrate removed down to bedrock (18 ha).…”
