"This volume provides fundamental information on wetlands and their integral functions as a productive ecosystem. The topics it covers include wetlands biodiversity, wetlands classification and monitoring, floods, river ecosystems, pollution, and more. New to this edition are di…
Coastal wetlands across the Southeastern U.S. coastline are among the most productive ecosystems worldwide, but are expected to experience challenges due to human alterations of the landscape, sea-level rise, and changing frequency of extreme events. Wetlands provide critical ec…
The extensive loss of natural wetlands and temporary ponds worldwide has led to their creation and restoration for biodiversity and functional objectives. The assessment of various restoration approaches of these habitats can promote the persistence of their inhabitants, includi…
Northern peatlands have accumulated approximately one third of all soil carbon (C) and therefore play an important role in the global C cycle. Besides the C sink function, peatlands are one of the largest biological sources of atmospheric methane (CH4) and represent approximatel…
Large wetlands are rare in Afghanistan. Afghanistan's few large wetlands are imperative for the sustainability of the local human and wildlife populations, and globally renowned for being indispensable staging and breeding areas for migratory waterfowl, waders and flamingos. A s…
Global climate is predicted to have significant impacts on the chemical, biological, and physical characteristics of wetlands and the watersheds in which they are contained. In particular, climate prediction models suggest a significant increase in extreme precipitation events -…
Wetlands contribute an estimated 25% of the global annual methane (CH4) emissions. However, delineation of the processes responsible for the large variations in emission rates found within and across wetland types has been challenging. Field measurements were collected in Franci…
Wetlands containing aquatic plants have been found to economically provide a mechanism for improving the microbial and other quality of wastewater. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the effect of vegetation and sedimentation on the survival of enteric microorganisms in …
