Wetlands serve many important functions and provide numerous ecological services such as clean water, wildlife habitat, nutrient reduction and flood control. Wetland science is a relatively young discipline but is a rapidly growing field due to an enhanced understanding of the importance of wetlands and the numerous laws and policies that have been developed to protect these areas. Unfortunately, no practical, comprehensive techniques book centered on wetlands, and written for wetland researchers, students, and managers is available. This 3-volume book aims to fill that gap. The book is designed to provide an overview of the various methods that have been used or developed by researchers and practitioners to study, monitor, manage, or create wetlands. Including many methods usually found only in the peer-reviewed or gray literature, this 3-volume set fills a major niche for all professionals dealing with wetlands.
