High Diversity

Florida's temperate to subtropical climate and abundant moisture create excellent growing conditions for ferns. Tropical storms and winds have transported fern spores to Florida from Caribbean islands and resulted in a high diversity of species. Consequently, Florida has more species of ferns than any state except Hawaii. There are an estimated 123 native fern and fern-like species, and at least 21 exotic and hybrid (crossbreeding of two species) species of ferns found in Florida.  This document is Circular 1471, one of a series of the Wildlife Ecology and Conservation Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Aquatic Food

Florida is home to 25 species of turtles representing seven families. Turtles (including tortoises and terrapins) can be terrestrial, aquatic, or semi-aquatic. In aquatic food pyramids, some turtles are top carnivores since they feed on other small aquatic animals and rarely become food themselves. Like other reptiles, turtles are poikilothermic (dependent on their surroundings for their body temperature).

Ranching is important to Florida's economy and environment. Of Florida's 34.5-plus million acres of land, 10.2 million acres were utilized for farmland in 2003, with the majority partially or totally used for cattle production. Cattle production contributed more than $348 million to the state's economy in 2003. Ranching helps protect water resources, provides natural greenways for wildlife and recreation, and preserves many components of the natural landscape. Both the environmental and economical health of ranching are therefore critical to the state's citizens. This document is WEC 187, one of a series of the Wildlife Ecology and Conservation Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

In this document, we present criteria for evaluating land in terms of conserving wildlife species. There are several basic principles of conservation planning that can assist private landowners and organizations in assessing the wildlife value of a property. We have listed seven broad criteria for consideration when evaluating and prioritizing areas for wildlife. This document is WEC 164, one of a series of the Department of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (IFAS), University of Florida.

Wildlife Populations

Wildlife enhances our quality of life and is an integral part of the landscape. In addition, wildlife can be managed to provide revenue as part of alternative farm enterprises. The key to maintaining healthy wildlife populations necessary in such alternative enterprises is providing quality habitat through proper management (Figure 1). This document is WEC 197 and one of a series of the Department of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (IFAS), University of Florida. First published: July 2005.
