Download or read book Wetlands of Bottomland Hardwood Forests written by J.R. Clark and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These Proceedings comprise two parts. Part I contains eight contributed papers on hydrology, fauna, soils, forests, agriculture and ecology. Part II comprises reports resulting from the five interdisciplinary workgroups whose participants included ecologists, botanists, zoologists, engineers, hydrologists, agrologists, dendrologists, resource managers and other specialists. Their aim was to evaluate conservation and management practices for wetland portions of the bottomland forests of the southeastern United States and to provide technical advice to responsible federal agencies. Thus the book is a state-of-knowledge review of scientific literature and current research, particularly that necessary to understand the effects of alterations such as forest clearing, land drainage or levee building that impair natural functions, i.e. production of timber, maintenance of water quality, flood water storage, support of migrating waterfowl and fish, carbon dioxide balance of the atmosphere etc.

Book excerpt: This paper first describes the nature & importance of wetlands in the forested regions of Canada and the forestry uses of wetlands. It then reviews the potential impacts of forestry operations on wetland ecosystems, including operations on wetland sites, upland operations near wetlands, draining treed wetlands for forestry, and the installation of forest roads that cross wetlands. Finally, measures to prevent or reduce those impacts are presented, with reference to experience in Canada and the United States.
Download or read book Forested Wetlands written by Ariel E. Lugo and published by Elsevier Publishing Company. This book was released on 1990 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hardbound. Forested wetlands are experiencing an unprecedented level of impact by human exploitation. There is a fundamental need to bring together existing information on ecological processes and composition of vegetation. Perhaps more urgent at this time is the need to chart fruitful research directions that will provide information on the management of this ecologically pivotal resource. This book is timely in contributing to both of these needs.Written for the professional ecologist and ecosystem manager, this unique book explains how forested wetlands function ecologically and how they vary floristically throughout the world. Chapters by the editors provide the framework for a simple functional classification of wetlands (riverine, fringe, and basin) that is gaining popularity among ecologists and resource managers worldwide. Both a world perspective and local flavor is provided by sections written by fifteen seasoned professionals in countri

Download or read book Wetlands Ecosystem Services Restoration and Wise Use written by Shuqing An and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-04 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores major wetland ecosystem services, such as climate cooling and water quality improvement, and discusses the recent wetland conservation and restoration activities in China and neighboring countries. The role of wetlands in either cooling or warming the climate is analyzed as the net balance between carbon sequestration and emissions of methane and nitrous oxide. Wetlands start off having a net warming effect on the climate but in time switch to net cooling. Further, they remove 40% of the N and P from run-off and groundwater flow in agricultural areas, but wetlands need to amount to 10% of the total catchment area to make a difference. Reflecting on the recent large investment in wetland ecological studies in China and neighboring countries, the book addresses invasive species in coastal wetlands as well as the protection and wise use of tidal flats around the Yellow Sea. It also presents promising regional case studies on wetland restoration. The book is intended for academics, students and practitioners in the field of wetland ecology, management and restoration, as well as consultants and professionals working in conservation, wise use and environmental policy.
