<br/><br/> 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). <br/>This book 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. Includes 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.
