Book Synopsis Wetland Ecosystems by : William J. Mitsch
Download or read book Wetland Ecosystems written by William J. Mitsch and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-04-13 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New focused text introduces readers to wetland ecosystems and systems approaches to studying wetlands With its comprehensive coverage of wetland science, management, and restoration, Mitsch and Gosselink's Wetlands has been the premier reference on wetlands for more than two decades. Now, the coverage of specific wetland ecosystem types from earlier editions of this acclaimed work has been updated, revised, and supplemented with additional content in order to create this new text focusing exclusively on wetland ecosystems. This book now complements Wetlands, Fourth Edition. Following an introduction to ecosystems in general and wetland ecosystems in particular, Wetland Ecosystems examines the major types of wetlands found throughout the world: coastal wetlands, freshwater marshes and forested swamps, and peatlands. The final chapter reviews three fundamental systems approaches to studying wetlands: mesocosms, full-scale experimental ecosystems, and mathematical modeling. This new text features: Updated descriptions of the hydrology, biogeochemistry, and biology of the main types of wetlands found in the world New content introducing general ecosystems, wetland ecosystems, whole ecosystem and mesocosm experiments with wetlands, and systems ecology and modeling A detailed description of the ecosystem services provided by wetlands A broad international scope, including many examples of wetlands located outside North America Two new coauthors offering new perspectives and additional insights into the latest ecosystem and modeling techniques An abundance of illustrations helps readers understand how different biological communities and the abiotic environment in wetland ecosystems interact and function. Tables and text boxes provide at-a-glance summaries of key information. Lastly, each chapter concludes with a list of recommended readings. This text has been designed as an introduction for students and professionals in wetland ecology and management, general ecology, environmental science, and natural resource management.

Book Synopsis Wetlands of the World I: Inventory, Ecology and Management by : Dennis F. Whigham
Download or read book Wetlands of the World I: Inventory, Ecology and Management written by Dennis F. Whigham and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 786 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impetus for this volume was the 2nd International Wetlands Conference which was held in June, 1984 at Trebon, Czechoslovakia. An overview of the worlds wetlands was one of the themes of the conference and it was decided that a useful follow-up would be a publication on the same topic. The initial goal was to cover as many of the worlds wetlands as possible in one volume and to have an emphasis on wetland ecology, biota, classification, and management. Individuals who made presentations at the Trebon confer ence were asked to prepare chapters and the editors also solicited other contributions. For a variety of reasons, the initial goal has been difficult to reach, especially coverage of the entire globe, and it has been necessary to publish the contributions in more than one volume. Volume 1 represents the com pletion of the first phase of the project and it covers most of the Western Hemisphere, Australia, most of Africa, the Indian subcontinent, the Mediter ranean region, and Papua New Guinea. Volume 2 will contain chapters on Western Europe, Northern Europe, Central Europe, most of northern and It is our hope that Volume western Asia, the Middle East, and Indonesia. 2 will appear in the near future and, if possible, a third volume will be published if authors can be secured to cover areas such as the Far East, other parts of the Indo-Pacific region, and New Zealand.

The next three chapters deal with hydrology and water chemistry. They describe the physical and chemical environment of northern prairie wetlands. The flora and fauna are covered in seven chapters. An overview of the ecology of the wetlands of the Nebraska sandhills is provided in the last chapter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This conference was created to provide a foundation for developing and implementing inventories to monitor changes and trends. It included recommendations formulated at the XVII I.U.F.R.O. World Congress in Kyoto, Japan in 1981. Because the wildland resources (timber, forage, wildlife, etc.) are being depleted most rapidly and are the most difficult to inventory, they have received the most attention"--Page 2.

Book Synopsis An Examination of Wetland Conversion and Resulting Effects on Landscape Connectivity in Southern Ontario Municipalities by : Waverley Birch
Download or read book An Examination of Wetland Conversion and Resulting Effects on Landscape Connectivity in Southern Ontario Municipalities written by Waverley Birch and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The few wetlands that remain in the human-dominated landscape of southern Ontario are affected by degradation and conversion to other land use and land cover types. Conversion has negative impacts on wetland-provisioned ecosystem services, such as aquatic species habitat, water filtration and flood prevention. Impacts on the latter services are especially concerning, given the increase of flood events that likely will be exacerbated by a changing climate. Stormwater management (SWM) ponds are constructed to control urban runoff, but do not have the same form and function as wetlands. This study examined recent (2002-2011) trends and drivers of wetland conversion (i.e. wetland loss and SWM pond gain) in seven southern Ontario municipalities. Following this, a Markov model was constructed to project future conversion given specific land use and land cover types. Network analytical approaches were then used to investigate effects of conversion on landscape connectivity. Results show that most wetlands lost were smaller than 2 hectares. While the total area of SWM ponds gained was greater than that of wetlands lost, the size of the average SWM pond gained was less than the size of the average wetland lost. Wetland conversion is projected to continue under all examined land use and land cover types, with losses particularly high in extractive and urban land uses. Overall, wetland conversion corresponded with decreased connectivity. Wetlands appeared to be more connected over the landscape compared to SWM ponds. However, SWM ponds likely acted as stepping-stones between wetlands and compensated somewhat for connectivity losses. The results provide further evidence for the need to halt wetland losses, especially for small wetlands, while showing the potential for connectivity improvements by SWM ponds. By conserving wetlands, policy makers can help to protect human life and property that rely on the critical ecosystem services provided by wetlands.

Book Synopsis Restoration of Aquatic Ecosystems by : National Research Council
Download or read book Restoration of Aquatic Ecosystems written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1992-01-01 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aldo Leopold, father of the "land ethic," once said, "The time has come for science to busy itself with the earth itself. The first step is to reconstruct a sample of what we had to begin with." The concept he expressedâ€"restorationâ€"is defined in this comprehensive new volume that examines the prospects for repairing the damage society has done to the nation's aquatic resources: lakes, rivers and streams, and wetlands. Restoration of Aquatic Ecosystems outlines a national strategy for aquatic restoration, with practical recommendations, and features case studies of aquatic restoration activities around the country. The committee examines: Key concepts and techniques used in restoration. Common factors in successful restoration efforts. Threats to the health of the nation's aquatic ecosystems. Approaches to evaluation before, during, and after a restoration project. The emerging specialties of restoration and landscape ecology.
