e. Evidence of fire history<br />
Water Environment - 62-345.500(6)(b), FAC<br />
Guidance: This attribute assesses whether the evidence of fire history indicates increased fire frequency and intensity due to<br />
decreased water supply/hydroperiod, or, on the opposite side of the spectrum, fire suppression, perhaps caused by seasonally or<br />
permanently impounding too much water. Excessively dry wetlands burn more often, with greater intensity, and may lead to<br />
deep muck fires than the same type wetland with normal hydrology. On the opposite side of the spectrum, fires could be<br />
suppressed in those communities adapted to it by seasonally or permanently impounding too much water.<br />
Prescribed fire in pine flatwoods adjacent to a forested<br />
wetland in Leon County. (JS)<br />
A thick layer of<br />
evergreen shrubs<br />
in the background<br />
of this urban<br />
forested wetland in<br />
Lee County has<br />
developed perhaps<br />
from water<br />
impoundment<br />
causing higher<br />
water depth and<br />
sustained periods<br />
of flooding, in turn<br />
decreasing the<br />
possibility of fire.<br />
