Product Description
Together with its companion Volume 190 "Wetlands and Natural Resource Management", this volume gives a broad and well-integrated overview of recent major scientific results in wetland science and their applications in natural resource management issues.

They are divided into the following three sections: Functioning of Plants and Animals in Wetlands; Conservation and Management of Wetlands; and, Wetland Restoration and Creation. The volume is of interest to wetland scientists, natural resource managers, as well as policy makers. |
