We have little idea about the actual areas of different Freshwater habitat required to provide a specified quantity and/or combination of services2. Evidence-based tools are becoming increasingly available to enable the assessment of the functioning of wetlands, together with their capacity to deliver...
Less common types in Delaware are marine wetlands (limited to the shore of the Atlantic Ocean; ocean beaches), riverine wetlands (within river channels and mostly in the intertidal zone of freshwater rivers), and lacustrine wetlands (the shallow water zone of lakes, reservoirs, and deepwater ...

With relatively weak immunity, those tideland specialists are likely to be more vulnerable in “dirty” inland freshwater wetlands (Piersma, 1997). In these various adaptions to coastal life, they are thus sensitive to the loss and degradation of coastal wetlands. A total of 172 sites with ...

Plants and cyanobacteria seem to trap sediment transported by surface run-off and wind. The mound grows with time, but its height is limited by the magnitude of the hydraulic head. These ecological niches are important freshwater resources for animals and humans in semi-arid environments. 展开 ...
In Parts 2 and 3, restoration of specific freshwater (marshes, forests, peatlands) and estuarine (tidal marshes, mangroves) wetlands are described. Part 4, From Theory to Practice, contains chapters describing performance standards to gauge success of projects and case studies describing small-scale...
These chapters in the earlier editions covered commonly recognized types such as tidal salt marshes, peatlands, riparian ecosystems, mangroves, and freshwater marshes. Originally this was accomplished by capitalizing on the efforts of many experts who had written synthesis volumes as part of the ...
