This is a nice article.
However, this statement: "All of South Florida's fresh water, which is stored in the Biscayne Aquifer, is recharged in the park.[6]" is not true.
At least one municipality (Highland Beach) filters water from the Floridan aquifer. To wit: "The Highland Beach public water supply system relies on the very deep Floridan Aquifer as its source of raw water." from: http://www.ci.highland-beach.fl.us/index.aspx?NID=101
Please change this erroneous statement to "Much of..." or some factually consistent form.
Thanks. J Park ( talk) 13:40, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
The infobox picture for this article is really terrible--the compression artifacts are very visible. I didn't see anything much better at Commons, but is there anyone out there with something better? Otherwise I'll put in a request W:Requested pictures. Cheers! Scientific29 ( talk) 15:39, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
Who keeps deleting my reference building on the length of time people have lived around the park, noting the point at which human activity began to significantly change the ecosystem through drainage? This is documentable fact. Whether you want to make money draining wetlands, or see them preserved, you shouldn't be deleting facts from an encyclopedia to support your point of view. There is absolutely no evidence that humans altered the park before the 1800's, there is plenty of evidence that drainage has altered the ecosystem, and the drainage started then.
Also - the Park website homepage lists 20% of the "historical" park as preserved. There can't be a more informed source on an article about a park than the park itself. Dig deeper for their source if you want, but who are you to disagree with a National Park on it's own size? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.224.253.59 ( talk) 16:47, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
Same goes for "1st Park to protect an ecosystem".. which is taken from the article below. I'm not adding or deleting facts, I'm just polishing up the writing. The 1st national park to protect an ecosystem is a significant element for the summary, as is the 20% feature, and the date where ecosystem change began, (however slowly at first, the plans were the turning point). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.224.253.59 ( talk) 16:55, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
I appreciate the reply, wish more people would add their reasons for editing to Wikipedia. History is a nice tip, and I should really create an account, I'm just not very tech savvy, more into writing.
A new user has added an unsourced bit to the geology section. I've marked it as needing a citation and added a welcome note and request on their talk. Hopefully they'll respond and help us out, see User talk:IEPRhodes. :) Vsmith ( talk) 23:41, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
"During the wet season, from May to November, temperatures are consistently above 90 °F (33 °C) and humidity over 90 percent."
Given the major amount of mainstream attention to the sea level rise issue in South Florida recently, these articles (Everglades and Everglades National Park) are badly lacking. The Everglades article doesn't even mention the phenomenon, despite the fact that a few inches of peat takes centuries, meaning even at mid 20th century rates, the beginning of it's demise in the 21st century was already nearly inevitable, and with recent accelerations, trends, and predictions, the full shebang up to the northernmost parts, is likely in this century, not in 500 years, as this article states.

The statement "Water levels may fluctuate dramatically around cypress domes and strands, so cypresses develop "knees" that protrude from the water at high levels to provide oxygen for the root systems." is in contrast with the article Cypress knee, in which it is written: "in fact, swamp-dwelling specimens whose knees are removed continue to thrive, and laboratory tests demonstrate that the knees are not effective at depleting oxygen in a sealed chamber. Even though there is no expert consensus on their role, the supposition that they are pneumatophores is repeated without note in several introductory botany textbooks". אביהו ( talk) 18:19, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
I don't think that a photo of a cypress dome is the best choice for the lead image in the article. Cypress domes are neither unique to the Everglades, nor particularly representative of the Everglades. My mind's image of the Everglades is expanses of saw grass interspersed with tree islands. - Donald Albury 11:25, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
