Location of the study sites in the Florida Coastal Everglades (FCE), Everglades National Park (ENP) in South Florida, USA. Sites along Shark River Estuary include long‐hydroperiod freshwater marshes (SRS‐1, ‐2, ‐3) and riverine tidal mangroves (SRS‐4, ‐5, ‐6). Sites along Taylor Slough/Panhandle include short‐hydroperiod marshes (TS/Ph‐1, ‐2, ‐3) and micro‐tidal mangroves (TS/Ph‐6, ‐7). The ecotone coincides with SRS‐4 in SRS and TS/Ph‐3 in TS/Ph. CS is a site on Cape Sable that has a long‐term surface water temperature record for mangroves. All sites are part of the FCE Long‐Term Ecological Research (FCE‐LTER) program.
