Wetland Plants of the Adirondacks: Ferns, Woody Plants, and Graminoids - , Dennis KalmaKozlowski, T.T
Wetland impairment has occurred in Lake Erie with agriculture activity, dredging, diking or other physical modifications, shoreline modification, and introduction of non-native species (e.g. common carp); the west basin has been particularly affected by these activities (Maynard and Wilcox, 1997). ...
A swamp is defined as a wetland dominated by trees or dense shrub thickets, although in popular parlance it's commonly applied to many other sodden ecosystems, including marshes, bogs, fens and mires. True swamps are found from the subarctic to the heart of the tropics, native to a signifi...
We also highlight key pathways through which these fluctuations affect methane production and emission, such as soil redox heterogeneity, changes in substrate availability and alternative electron acceptor pool, the contribution of different methane transport pathways, and the non-linear responses of ...
the encroachment of woody shrubs (e.g., Carolina willow) into graminoid-dominated subtropical wetlands can increase transpiration water loss, which may drive a sustained water table decline92. In tropical papyrus wetlands, the papyrus mat system can enhance water storage capacity during the rainy se...

Fish sampling is an important component of wetland research, management, conservation, monitoring, and assessment programs, and studies of fish abundance, productivity, and community structure can provide important information about wetland condition and
The wetlands in thisdiversegroup are unified primarily by the fact that they are all nontidal, nonforested freshwater systems dominated bygrasses,sedges, and other freshwater hydrophytes (aquatic plants).Freshwatermarshes do not build peat. They differ in their geologic origins and their driving hy...
These various site-types surround a patterned rich fen characterized by wet moss-dominated areas (flarks) associated with horizontal-oriented ridges (strings), known to generally form perpendicular to water flow (Eppinga et al., 2009). Over 114 species of bryophytes have been identified at the ...
