Some of the driest land in the Everglades is pineland (also called pine rockland) ecosystem located in the highest part of the Everglades with little to no hydroperiod Some floors however may have flooded solution holes or puddles for a few months at a time the most significant feature of the pineland is the single species of South Florida slash pine (Pinus elliottii) Pineland communities require fire to maintain them and the trees have several adaptations that simultaneously promote and resist fire the sandy floor of the pine forest is covered with dry pine needles that are highly flammable South Florida slash pines are insulated by their bark to protect them from heat Fire eliminates competing vegetation on the forest floor and opens pine cones to germinate seeds a period without significant fire can turn pineland into a hardwood hammock as larger trees overtake the slash pines the understory shrubs in pine rocklands are the fire-resistant saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) cabbage palm (Sabal palmetto) and West Indian lilac (Tetrazygia bicolor) the most diverse group of plants in the pine community are the herbs of which there are two dozen species These plants contain tubers and other mechanisms that allow them to sprout quickly after being charred, Main article: Tropical hardwood hammock, A clump of mangroves in the distance Florida Bay at Flamingo. Water is the dominant force in the Everglades shaping the land vegetation and animal life in South Florida Starting at the last glacial maximum 21,000 years ago continental ice sheets retreated and sea levels rose This submerged portions of the Florida peninsula and caused the water table to rise Fresh water saturated the limestone that underlies the Everglades eroding some of it away and created springs and sinkholes the abundance of fresh water allowed new vegetation to take root and formed convective thunderstorms over the land through evaporation, Although Miami is not really considered a major center of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s it did not escape the change that occurred Miami was a major city in the southern state of Florida and had always had a substantial African American and black Caribbean population, 2.1 1900s to 1930s: the Magic City Cityscape 2.7 Model United Nations Program; ; . .
