Wetlands serve many important functions and provide numerous
ecological services such as clean water, wildlife habitat, nutrient
reduction, and flood control. Wetland science is a relatively young
discipline but is a rapidly growing field due to an enhanced
understanding of the importance of wetlands and the numerous laws
and policies that have been developed to protect these areas. This
growth is demonstrated by the creation and growth of the Society of
Wetland Scientists which was formed in 1980 and now has a
membership of 3,500 people. It is also illustrated by the existence
of 2 journals ("Wetlands" and "Wetlands Ecology and Management")
devoted entirely to wetlands.
To date there has been no practical, comprehensive techniques
book centered on wetlands, and written for wetland researchers,
students, and managers. This techniques book aims to fill that gap.
It is designed to provide an overview of the various methods that
have been used or developed by researchers and practitioners to
study, monitor, manage, or create wetlands. Including many methods
usually found only in the peer-reviewed or gray literature, this
3-volume set fills a major niche for all professionals dealing with
wetlands."
