How have protists traditionally been classified? What are the main types of natural disturbances that influence: 1) forests? 2) grasslands? How does climate influence a biome, and what are some of the factors that determine an area's biome? Why do ecologists study the transitional zones betwee...
Land buyers should also know that “wetlands” does not necessarily mean a body of water. Wetlands are classified based on vegetation. Investigating whether there are any conservation issues should always be a prime consideration when purchasing land. Lastly, does public water service the land, or ...
This study, from November 2004 to June 2008: (1) measured the mean specific flow yield (mm yr1) at the outlet of 6 wetlands; (2) classified wetlands into 3 types based on hydrology; (3) mapped and classified all wetlands in the catchment; and (4) calculated the areaweighted mean ...

Created wetlands can be of different types, and are usually classified as free water surface constructed wetlands (FWS), horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetlands (HSF), and vertical flow constructed wetlands (VF) [9]. FWS wetlands are usually between 0.1 and 2 m deep, with a plant commu...

The European pond turtle (Emys orbicularis) is a widespread freshwater turtle endemic to the Western Palearctic62. In the evaluation of IUCN the species is classified as Near Threatened63. Its populations declined considerably due to the reduction in suitable wetlands in recent decades64. The life...
