Editorial Reviews
Review
"The editors are to be highly commended for . . . the straightforward and honest writing style that continually weaves its way throughout this text."--Ecology
"Provides a comprehensive introduction to the great ecological breadth and complexity that wetlands exhibit ranging from microbial process to biogeography and global climate."--Wetlands
A comprehensive and timely introduction to wetlands ecology, including well written chapters on wetland formation processes. . . . An excellent textbook for classes focusing on wetlands."--Botanical Rsrch Inst. of Txs (jbrit)
Product Description
Designed as a textbook, this volume is an important, up-to-date, authoritative, and accessible survey in ecology of freshwater and estuarine wetlands. Prominent wetland scholars address the physical environment, geomorphology, biogeochemistry, soils, and hydrology of both freshwater and estuarine wetlands. Careful syntheses review how hydrology and chemistry constrain wetlands plants and animals. In addition, contributors document the strategies employed by plants, animals, and bacteria to cope with stress. Focusing on the ecology of key organisms, each chapter is relevant to wetland regulation and assessment, wetland restoration, how flood pulses control the ecology of most wetland complexes, and how human regulation of flood pulses threatens wetland biotic integrity. Ideal for the classroom, this book is a fundamental resource for anyone interested in the current state of our wetlands.
