I take it those aren’t natural glades you’re the guru of—or you would have thought through how that could mess up a natural ecosystem.

You posted: “I take it those aren’t natural glades you’re the guru of—or you would have thought through how that could mess up a natural ecosystem.”

as the above is thoughtful, and has some implied premises, it deserves more than a one liner answer.

Regarding the naturalness of the Everglades, the State of Florida worked with the Army Corps of Engineers to make it a most un-natural of places. While so doing, they took a $400,000,000 “Restoration Project” to above 17 BILLION BUCKS ! ! !

Be assured they do not even know what natural was - probably why they took restoration funds to bring a part back to its 1941 status. Said status was a farm field.

The Armed and Rangerous blew your money removing “invasive plants” and left clean land. What will seed in will not be the Garden of Eden, because that garden was allegedly created by more than mere bureaucraps in uniforms with unlimited access to America’s resources.

By the way, in case you didn’t notice, most of America is now owned by the Gubment. And, the Constitution did not allow such Gubment ownership og land because the Founders understood the essential nature of Man sufficiently well to realize that Gubment can’t and won’;t manage land at all well.

Having established that the Everglades is far from either natural or well managed, it falls upon me to inform you of the following sad news. There is a vanishingly small probability that even the Annointed Won, Lord Chief Obama hissef can create any plausible scenario wherein AgencyPersons will manage land, business, education, banking, or any other human activity with anywhere near the success which pre-Roosevelt America had demonstrated.

Having been a member of the Florida Sierra Club’s Florida Executive Committee (FLEXCOM), I can assure you that “environmental regulations” are crafted to destroy America so that socialism can have its day in the sun.

Got sun block?

Due to the tendency of the socialist sun to burn brightly enough to create scorched habitats, I suggest using nothing less than a S.P.F. of 500.

Got bunker? Either get a deep one of call your travel agent and price travel off-planet. Why off-planet?

Because without America as the defender of freedom, there will be no free world.

Or even a free America.

One hypothesis is that accumulated charcoal from aboriginal burning was pivotal in retaining atmospheric deposition of trace minerals.

Please define "natural."

Please suggest what "natural" might have been in Everglades ca. 1600 AND (more important) how it got that way.

My guess is that your first answer will be functionally inconsistent with the second.
