Download or read book Wetlands: Ecosystem Services, Restoration and Wise Use written by Shuqing An and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-04 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores major wetland ecosystem services, such as climate cooling and water quality improvement, and discusses the recent wetland conservation and restoration activities in China and neighboring countries. The role of wetlands in either cooling or warming the climate is analyzed as the net balance between carbon sequestration and emissions of methane and nitrous oxide. Wetlands start off having a net warming effect on the climate but in time switch to net cooling. Further, they remove 40% of the N and P from run-off and groundwater flow in agricultural areas, but wetlands need to amount to 10% of the total catchment area to make a difference. Reflecting on the recent large investment in wetland ecological studies in China and neighboring countries, the book addresses invasive species in coastal wetlands as well as the protection and wise use of tidal flats around the Yellow Sea. It also presents promising regional case studies on wetland restoration. The book is intended for academics, students and practitioners in the field of wetland ecology, management and restoration, as well as consultants and professionals working in conservation, wise use and environmental policy.

Download or read book A Case Study in Wetlands Conservation written by and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research explores wetlands conservation techniques employed by private landowners owning 1,000 or more acres who were recipients of an Environmental Law Institute National Wetlands Award. Study of private landowner stewardship is timely and important because in the United States, 75 percent of all wetlands are under private ownership. Given that wetlands provide a suite of valuable ecosystem services such as water filtration, flood abatement, and carbon storage, their conservation is critical to a healthy environment and productive economy. To accomplish this research, landowner files were processed into a digital archive and sub-categorized for research purposes. Telephone interviews were conducted with a study group of seven landowners. Interview results were studied with archival resources, and a comprehensive profile was generated for each individual. Standard case study methodology was employed to interpret and analyze the emergent results. Key findings of this research include the presence of a shared land ethic between land owners. That land ethic is an individualized sentiment, though landowners expressed similarity through a desire to share conservation success with others. Additionally, the majority of landowners reported using a suite of best management practices. These are grouped according to wildlife and wildlife habitat, wetland hydrology, technical assistance and conservation partnerships, and conservation management techniques. Other key findings include a set of site-specific techniques employed by a smaller subset of the study group. Landowners collectively reported other best practices, including participating in community outreach. Also uncovered during analysis was the range of historical factors that influence land management approach, such as agricultural drainage policies. In its entirety, this research seeks to provide a reference guide for both landowners and policy makers, presenting the best management practices for conserving wetlands on private lands.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author reveals practices used to restore over 1,700 wetlands in 21 States, 2 Canadian Provinces, New Zealand and Taiwan, answering questions asked by the thousands of professionals and landowners who have taken the hands-on wetland restoration workshops he has instructed across North America. Discover how to build a wetland that looks and functions like a natural ecosystem, and for a fraction of the cost of required mitigation projects. See how to fix wetlands that have failed, and how unattractive eroding farm ponds can be transformed into beautiful, self sustaining wetland habitats. Clearly logical step by step instructions explain how to design and establish natural appearing wetlands for wildlife and fish habitat, cleaning run-off, recharging groundwater, and preventing flooding. Over 450 detailed drawings and photographs illustrate highly effective techniques for restoring surface and groundwater wetlands.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Wetlands" has become a hot word in the current environmental debate. But what does it signify? In 1991, proposed changes in the legal definities of wetlands stirred controversy and focused attention on the scientific and economic aspects of their management. This volume explores how to define wetlands. The committee--whose members were drawn from academia, government, business, and the environmental community--builds a rational, scientific basis for delineating wetlands in the landscape and offers recommendations for further action. Wetlands also discusses the diverse hydrological and ecological functions of wetlands, and makes recommendations concerning so-called controversial areas such as permafrost wetlands, riparian ecosystems, irregularly flooded sites, and agricultural wetlands. It presents criteria for identifying wetlands and explores the problems of applying those criteria when there are seasonal changes in water levels. This comprehensive and practical volume will be of interest to environmental scientists and advocates, hydrologists, policymakers, regulators, faculty, researchers, and students of environmental studies.

Book excerpt: The purpose of the Exploring Environmental Challenges: A Multidisciplinary Approach series is to publish a collection of short texts that each explore a specific environmental issue and describe the methodologies, theories, and findings pertaining to that issue from both natural and social science perspectives. Each text contains three natural science essays, three social science essays, and a concluding essay. Intended for introductory environmental studies courses, these balanced, thoughtful, and rigorous texts aim to provide students with a deeper understanding of the relationship between people and their environment, and to serve as a foundation for further inquiry and discussion. Wetlands introduces students to the natural ecological functions and policy issues of wetlands so they will have a solid understanding of why these ecosystems are necessary and why their governance remains a significant environmental challenge. Although not a comprehensive overview on wetlands, it does provide background material for a more comprehensive investigation into the science behind and the management of these ecosystems.

Download or read book Wetland Habitats written by Nick Romanowski and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2010-05-17 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wetland Habitats is a practical and easy to use manual for wetland restoration and conservation of diverse animal species. Covering all the recent work in this field, among other significant issues it discusses making the most of dams and created wetlands; reversing the effects of drainage, grazing, weirs, deteriorating water quality, and associated algal problems; captive breeding and reintroduction; and controlling weeds and vermin. The book describes a range of potential problems encountered during restoration efforts and approaches to dealing with them, so that readers will be able to make informed decisions about wetlands on their own properties. It also explains how to set realistic targets for wetland restoration as well as longer-term goals for management, and includes colour photographs of diverse wetland habitats and the animals that rely on them. The examples draw on a wide range of wetland animals including some which aren’t often found in wetlands on private properties, but the primary emphasis is on the ecology, interactions and management of species and other aspects of management that will be of most use to landholders with wetlands in need of rejuvenation.
