Larval anurans may constitute the primary biomass of animals in geographically isolated wetlands (GIWs), but few studies have attempted to identify factors that influence larval body stoichiometry or their role in nutrient storage within GIWs. I measured body stoichiometry acros…

The floodplain wetlands of the Hadejia-Jama'are Basin, Northern Nigeria are a valuable economic and environmental resource and similar hydrologically to the Inner Niger Delta and the Senegal Valley. Seasonal inundation is the key. Drought and large-scale water resource schemes u…
This study aims to develop models predicting the depth, extent and volume of flooding in the Hadejia-Nguru wetlands of Nigeria from satellite sensor images. In subregions representative of the entire wetlands over 1,500 rigorously coordinated and geocoded depths were observed, s…
This dissertation uses state-of-the-art palynological analysis, quantitative paleoenvironmental analysis (modem analog technique, detrended correspondence analysis, and cluster analysis) and geochronology ( 14 C, 210 Pb, and biostratigraphy) on wetland sediments from the ridge, …
Issues related to the use and management of wetlands have received considerable attention in recent years in the wake of fast disappearance of this natural resource. Inadequate institutional arrangements or property rights have been cited as an important causal factor for this d…
This dissertation analyzes alterations in a closed-basin wetland system resulting from the construction of a large-scale irrigation project in its catchment. The study was conducted at the Sultan Marshes ecosystem (Develi Basin, Turkey), which has been severely degraded within t…

Authored by world-class scientists and scholars, The Handbook of Natural Resources, Second Edition, is an excellent reference for understanding the consequences of changing natural resources to the degradation of ecological integrity and the sustainability of life. Based on the …
Efforts to direct the recovery of damaged sites and landscape date back as far as the 1930s. If we fully understood the conditions and controlling variables at restoration sites, we would be better equipped to predict the outcomes of restoration efforts. If there were no constra…
"Combining detailed examples from coastal research studies along the Pacific coast of southern California with information drawn from the literature on coastal restoration across the United States, the Handbook of Restoring Tidal Wetlands fills a void in current restoration ecol…
