The ELM is a regional-scale, integrated ecological assessment tool designed to understand and predict the landscape response to different water management scenarios in south Florida, USA. In simulating changes to habitat distributions, the ELM dynamically integrates hydrology, water quality, soils, periphyton, and vegetation in the Everglades region.
