WETLANDS

The definitive guide to wetlands for students and professionals alike

Wetlands rank among the most productive but also the most vulnerable ecosystems. They break down toxins and help maintain aquatic ecosystems, provide both permanent and temporary homes for key species, and contribute enormously to biodiversity and global ecological health. In recent years the importance of wetlands has been increasingly well understood, and their management and restoration has become a particular focus of environmental research.

Wetlands provides a thorough and comprehensive overview of wetlands, updated to reflect the latest research findings and methodological approaches, as it has done for more than a generation. The new edition has been optimized for classroom use, breaking down the topic into four parts: introduction to wetlands, the wetland environment, wetland ecosystems, and wetland management.

Readers of the sixth edition of Wetlands will also find:

  • A detailed discussion of the role of wetlands in improving water quality, protection from storm damage, and other ecosystem services
  • The latest approaches and examples of wetland creation and restoration
  • A thorough discussion of the impacts of climate change on wetlands, and how to mitigate them

Wetlands is essential reading for students and professionals in ecology, environmental engineering, and water resource management.

濕地

《濕地》是一本針對學生和專業人士的權威指南，詳細介紹了濕地的知識。

濕地是生產力最高但也最脆弱的生態系統之一。它們能分解毒素，幫助維護水生生態系統，為關鍵物種提供永久和臨時的棲息地，並對生物多樣性和全球生態健康做出巨大貢獻。近年來，人們對濕地的重要性有了越來越深入的了解，其管理和恢復成為環境研究的特定焦點。

《濕地》提供了一個全面而詳盡的濕地概述，更新以反映最新的研究發現和方法論，這是該書多年來一直做的。新版書籍已經優化為課堂使用，將主題分為四個部分：濕地介紹、濕地環境、濕地生態系統和濕地管理。

第六版的《濕地》讀者還將找到：
- 對濕地在改善水質、防止風災等生態系統服務方面的詳細討論
- 最新的濕地創建和恢復方法和案例
- 對氣候變化對濕地的影響以及如何減輕這些影響的全面討論

《濕地》是生態學、環境工程和水資源管理等領域的學生和專業人士必讀的書籍。

作者簡介

William J. Mitsch, PhD, is Professor Emeritus in both the School of Environment and Natural Resources at The Ohio State University and in The Water School at Florida Gulf Coast University. Prior to OSU and FGCU, he held professorships at Illinois Institute of Technology and University of Louisville. His research and teaching focused on wetland ecology and biogeochemistry, wetland creation and restoration, ecological engineering and ecosystem restoration. He founded and was editor-in-chief for 25 years of the international journal Ecological Engineering and was a Stockholm Water Prize Laureate in 2004. Dr. Mitsch completed 85 graduate students through thesis or dissertation in his 47 years as a professor.

James G. Gosselink, PhD (deceased), was Professor at the Center for Coast and Environment at Louisiana State University. In 1998 he received the Society of Wetland Scientists Lifetime Achievement Award.

Christopher J. Anderson, PhD, is a professor of wetland ecology at the Auburn University College of Forestry, Wildlife and Environment. He specializes on coastal wetlands with an emphasis on functional changes related to land use, climate and hydrologic change.

M. Siobhan Fennessy, PhD, is the Philip and Sheila Jordan Professor of Environmental Studies and Biology at Kenyon College. She is a wetland ecosystem ecologist studying the response of wetland plant communities and biogeochemical cycles to human disturbance, how that disturbance can be quantified and then reversed by ecological restoration, and the role of wetlands in climate mitigation.
