- catalog abstract ""Wetlands are among the most productive and biologically diverse ecosystems on Earth. Their very diversity has confounded ecologists and produced a fragmented area of study where each wetland type has tended to be considered in isolation. The discipline has been further compartmentalized by narrow focus on specific organisms and geographic regions. This book, in contrast, provides a synthesis of the existing field of wetland ecology, using a few central themes. These themes include basic characteristics of wetlands, key environmental factors that produce wetland community types and some unifying problems such as assembly rules, restoration and conservation. The volume draws upon a complete range of wetland habitats and geographic regions, including examples from Africa, Asia, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, as well as from North and South America. No other book provides up-to-date ecological syntheses over the entire geographical and habitat range of wetlands. As such, Wetland Ecology is essential reading for anyone planning research or management in wetland habitats."--Jacket.".
