Wetlands: Environmental Gradients, Boundaries, and Buffers

Editat de George Mulamoottil
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 apr 1996
An understanding of environmental gradients (physical, chemical, hydrological, and biological) is a prerequisite to the accurate delineation of wetland boundaries. Presenting the wide-ranging views of academicians, environmentalists, policy makers, consultants, planners, engineers, hydrologists, biologists, geochemists, ecologists, and conservationists, Wetlands: Environmental Gradients, Boundaries, and Buffers focuses on current topics and research related to wetland delineation; summarizes the main issues of concern; and provides recommendations on research needs.
In addition to integrating the most important research and theoretical aspects, this book includes a strong prescriptive component, providing practicing professionals with specific guidance on defining the true dimensions of a wetland area.

Descriere

This book documents the proceedings of an international symposium which focused on current research on environmental gradients, boundaries, and buffers, and provided a forum for researchers to generate recommendations on wetland priority research needs related to the theme of the symposium.
