• catalog abstract ""The early understanding of prairie wetland ecology was developed from research and conservation work inspired by the droughts of the 1930s. Although most waterfowl and wetland studies over the next 40 years were descriptive, they highlighted the importance of conserving northern prairie wetlands as habitat for the wide array of wildlife species occupying these dynamics systems. What was needed to advance management theory and practice was true experimental data so that hypotheses derived from published models of marsh wet-dry cycles could be tested." "The Marsh Ecology Research Program (MERP) was the most ambitious experimental study in wetland ecology ever attempted. MERP was a long-term, multidisciplinary study of the basic factors controlling the productivity of prairie wetlands: water budgets (wet-dry cycles); marsh vertebrates and invertebrates; nitrogen, phosphorus, and carbon recycling; macrophyte and algae production; and decomposition. Prairie Wetland Ecology summarizes the MERP study and presents for the first time the nutrient dynamics models that integrate all the data."--Jacket.".
