Wetlands: Environmental Gradients,

An understanding of environmental gradients (physical, chemical, hydrological, & biological) is a prerequisite to the accurate delineation of wetland boundaries. Presenting the wide-ranging views of academicians, environmentalists, policy makers, consultants, planners, engineers, hydrologists, biologists, geochemists, ecologists, & conservationists, Wetlands: Environmental Gradients, Boundaries, & Buffers focuses on current topics & research related to wetland delineation; summarizes the main issues of concern; & provides recommendations on research needs. In addition to integrating the most important research & theoretical aspects, this book includes a strong prescriptive component, providing practicing professionals with specific guidance on defining the true dimensions of a wetland area.
