Multifunctional Wetlands: Pollution Abatement and Other Ecological Services from Natural and Constructed Wetlands de Nidhi Nagabhatla

Multifunctional Wetlands: Pollution Abatement and Other Ecological Services from Natural and Constructed Wetlands: Environmental Contamination Remediation and Management

Editat de Nidhi Nagabhatla, Christopher D. Metcalfe
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 noi 2017
This book describes how natural or constructed wetlands can be used to reduce pollution of freshwater and coastal ecosystems, while still preserving their biodiversity and ecological functions. Through a series of case histories described in 10 chapters in the monograph, the readers will gain an understanding of the opportunities, as well as the challenges associated with reducing point and non-point source pollution using natural, restored or constructed wetlands.  The target audience will be water practitioners involved in projects utilizing integrated watershed management approaches to pollution abatement, as well as researchers who are designing projects focused on this topic.

Caracteristici

The chapters in the book collectively provide a comprehensive synthesis of both the opportunities and the challenges associated with using natural and constructed wetlands for pollution abatement, while preserving the other ecological functions of these complex ecosystems The geographic and thematic scope of the book covers coastal mangrove forests in tropical ecosystems to tundra wetlands in the Canadian arctic, and the various book chapters describe the multi-functional dimensions of both natural and constructed wetlands in urban, rural and remote regions of the world This book illustrates the multi-functionality of wetland ecosystems for flood control, disaster risk reduction, habitat restoration, biodiversity conservation and recreation Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
