摘要

Florida Gulf University opened in 1997 on a 760 acre site in Lee County, Florida. Over 400 acres of the campus are wetland or upland preserves. The preserve areas are an ongoing restoration project focusing on removal of the invasive exotic Melaleuca quinquenervia. Restoration approaches vary from hand removal and herbicide application in areas of low infestation with significant native vegetation remaining, to areas of complete infestation requiring total biomass removal and replanting of native vegetation. Both introduced biological control agents, the snout weevil (Oxyops vitiosa) and the psyllid fly (Boreioglycaspis melaleucae) are present on campus and appear to be effectively reducing seed crops. In May 2004 a wildfire burned approximately 300 acres of the south and east sides of campus. We established transects through four severely burned areas: 1) a wetland/upland ecotone with low infestation; 2) a wetland with high infestation; 3) a restored wetland with previously high infestation that had been replanted following exotic removal, and 4) a restored wetland/upland ecotone with mature native vegetation remaining after exotic removal. We report on the variations in severity of fire impacts, recovery of native vegetation, reinvasion of exotics, and re-establishment of biological control agents during the first four months of recovery. This is a unique opportunity to investigate the effect of intense fire on Melaleuca quinquenervia invaded lands following establishment of biological control agents and on the succession of restored habitats.
