Analyses across wetland sites revealed that wetland type, not geographical location, corresponded to microbial community composition and diversity. As might be expected by ecological wetland differences, bog samples derived from Sweden (STM) and Minnesota (SPRUCE), were more alike one another than bog...
We measured the size of each wetland and its component classes and subclasses with a polar planimeter, calculated the amount of change, if any, between 1939 and 1972, and determined the cause of each change insofar as possible. Results Figure 1. Map of South Kingstown, Rhode Island, ...
. Yet, much of it is either rapidly decomposed or exported from the wetland system (Mitsch and Gosselink2015; Pan et al.2024). Belowground biomass (BGB) (e.g. root biomass and fungi), on the other hand, is often incorporated directly into the soil profile and inherently protected by root...
South America is home to the highest freshwater fish biodiversity on Earth, and the hotspot of species richness is located in the western Amazon basin. The location of this hotspot is enigmatic, as it is inconsistent with the pattern observed in river sy
Groundwater inflow, when it occurs, is most apparent by its impact on the wetland vegetation. This can lead to anomalies in the vegetation, exemplified by the local increase of less salt-tolerant species such as thecommon reedPhragmites australis(Chambers et al., 2003) and the growth and deve...

Location map of the eight Lake Ontario study embayments. Full size image Embayment-scale characteristics Morphometry Morphometric measurements included watershed area, embayment area, maximum depth, and percent littoral habitat. Watershed areas were calculated from digital elevation maps using ESRI Arc...
Freshwater plastic pollution is critically understudied in Southeast Asia (SEA). Recent modelling studies indicate that SEA rivers contribute vast quantities of plastic to the world’s oceans, however, these fail to capture the complexity of individual systems. We determine the volume of mismanaged pl...
Location of included wetland studies Full size image The number of specific wetland types, inlet water types, water regimes, vegetation types, and climate zones are shown in Tables6,7,8,9and10. The most common wetland in this review is a free water surface (FWS) wetland with emergent vegeta...
Anadromous subpopulations can be directly supported only at the stage when they migrate to freshwater habitats to spawn, e.g., by restoring connectivity between the freshwater and brackish realms through the removal of barriers associated with wetland management and agriculture to allow anadromous ...
