Here are a few miscellaneous other sites I included while I was looking
for information on regional climates. If I can get a better group of sites
to do this, I will post addresses that discuss regional biomes that are
associated with major climate classes. I don't expect you to do anything
with these this time around, but feel free to browse through them.

For web pages pertaining to biogeography, ecosystems research, and
ecology, look at the list of bookmark links from the class homepage and
scroll down to the "Biogeography and ecology" heading. Some of the items
listed there are also included below, together with assorted other sites
on ecosystems and environmental problems affecting ecosystem health.

One of the most threatened ecosystems in the U.S. is the Florida
Everglades, which is impacted by human activities throughout South
Florida. Try a search of the web looking for information on the Everglades
or the Kissimmee River, and look for web pages managed by the South
 Florida Water Management District. The following sites also provide some
relevant information:=20
