Professor Tiner primarily focuses on plants, soils, and other signs of wetland hydrology in the soil, or on the surface of wetlands in his discussion of Wetland Indicators.Practicing - and aspiring - wetland delineators alike will appreciate Wetland Indicators' critical insight into the development and significance of hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils, and other factors.

I did not find this book very helpful when it came to identification. It did help with classification and mapping.

This book is very well put together and provides a wealth of information on Wetland Indicators. If you are just learning about wetlands, what is in them, and how to identify different ones, then this book will be GREAT for you!

This book is a good overview of Wetland Delineations. I bought it for the mapping information and found it useful when using GIS for Wetland Delineation Maps
