Cypress Swamps is the first study of its kind to analyze a common southeastern ecosystem by integrating laboratory and field study with computer modeling to establish a basis for further analyses of perturbations in wetlands. Its three sections deal with the general characteristics of cypress swamps, the impact of recycling secondarily treated wastewater into cypress-dominated ecosystems, and swamps in a larger environmental context, all in an effort to define their usefulness to human systems.

Comprehensive and Groundbreaking,
By Matthew J. Cohen (Gainesville, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cypress Swamps (Center for Wetlands Research, University) (Hardcover)
This book was one of the initial efforts at understanding entire ecosystems and their current and potential role in the increasingly human landscape. Wastewater treatment is covered at length, but even further, effort is made to put these ecosystems into a regional perspective. Their value is discussed at many scales This book is an excellent example of ecological study, and a must read for anyone in the field. p.s. Dr. Odum is not the photographer. He and Dr. Ewel co-edited the volume, and he provides the closing remarks about cypress swamps using a whole-systems perspective.
