Floodplain forests provide unique ecological structure and function, which are often degraded or lost when watershed hydrology is modified.

520 $a Twenty-four dielectric probes measuring soil moisture and porewater salinity every 30 minutes were installed along two transects---one in an upstream, freshwater location; the other in a downstream tidal area. Data collected over four years quantified the spatial variability and temporal dynamics of vadose zone hydrology, showed that soil moisture can be closely predicted based on river stage and topographic elevation, and helped to explain observed vegetation patterns. Groundwater elevation and salinity were measured in a network of twelve wells along a gradient from fresh to saline conditions. Dynamic Factor Analysis (DFA), a time series dimension reduction technique, was used to model temporal variation in groundwater and soil moisture datasets as linear combinations of common trends (which represent unexplained common variability) and appropriate explanatory variables. The resulting dynamic factor models (DFMs) were useful for assessing the effects of ecosystem restoration and management scenarios on floodplain hydrology. These relationships were coupled with ecological performance measures to predict floodplain vegetation dynamics using a spatially distributed ecohydrological model. This study offers a methodological and analytical framework for floodplain monitoring in locations where restoration success depends on vadose zone hydrology and provides relationships for evaluating proposed management scenarios for the Loxahatchee River.
