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, 5 Education Cypress swamps can be found throughout the Everglades but the largest covers most of Collier County the Big Cypress Swamp is located to the west of the sawgrass prairies and sloughs and it is commonly called "The Big Cypress." the name refers to its area rather than the height or diameter of the trees; at its most conservative estimate the swamp measures 1,200 square miles (3,100 km2) but the hydrologic boundary of the Big Cypress can be calculated at over 2,400 square miles (6,200 km2) Most of the Big Cypress sits atop a bedrock covered by a thinner layer of limestone the limestone underneath the Big Cypress contains quartz which creates sandy soil that hosts a variety of vegetation different from what is found in other areas of the Everglades the basin for the Big Cypress receives on average 55 inches (140 cm) of water in the wet season, As of 2010 70.2% of Miami's population age five and over spoke only Spanish at home while 22.7% of the population spoke English at home About 6.3% spoke other Indo-European languages at home About 0.4% spoke Asian languages or Pacific Islander languages/Oceanic languages at home the remaining 0.3% of the population spoke other languages at home in total 77.3% spoke another language other than English. . 1964 56.1% 933,554 41.3% 686,297 Climbing ferns overtake cypress trees in the Everglades the ferns act as "fire ladders" that can destroy trees that would otherwise survive fires!
