The Wetlands Handbook is a comprehensive analysis aimed at placing the care and understanding of wetlands more firmly at the heart of environmental management. A departure from more traditional scientific treatises on wetland ecosystems, the title adopts a functional approach with a focus on freshwater wetlands.
Klappentext zu „The Wetlands Handbook, 2 Vols. “
Forty-two chapters by international experts from a wide range of disciplines make The Wetlands Handbook the essential tool for those seeking comprehensive understanding of the subject. A departure from more traditional treatises, this text examines freshwater wetland ecosystem science from the fundamentals to issues of management and policy.Introductory chapters address the scope and significance of wetlands globally for communities, culture and biodiversity. Subsequent sections deal with processes underpinning wetland functioning, how wetlands work, their uses and values for humans and nature, their sensitivity to external impacts, and how they may be restored. The text is illustrated by numerous examples, emphasising functional and holistic approaches to wetland management, including case studies on the wise use and rehabilitation of wetlands in farmed, urban, industrial and other damaged environments, highlighting the long-term benefits of multiple use. The Wetlands Handbook will provide an invaluable reference for researchers, managers, policy-makers and students of wetland sciences.
Feuchtgebiete spielen im weltweiten Ökosystem eine bedeutende Rolle und bedürfen eines zielgerichteten Managements. Internationale Experten erläutern in diesem Referenzwerk, wie diese Gebiete geschützt, am besten genutzt und gegebenenfalls wiederhergestellt werden können.

The Wetlands Handbook is a comprehensive analysis aimed at placing the care and understanding of wetlands more firmly at the heart of environmental management. A departure from more traditional scientific treatises on wetland ecosystems, this unique resource adopts a functional approach with a focus on freshwater wetlands. Each chapter links fundamental scientific and technical knowledge with sound management policy. This type of linkage appeals to a growing community of wetland managers, researchers, and policy and regulatory decision-makers, including those working today to restore the marshlands of Southern Iraq.
Chapters are authored by international experts in the fields of hydrology, ecology, engineering ecosystem restoration, catchments management, wetland and conservation policy, and socio-economics. They offer an overview of wetlands in the wider global environment, as well as a focus on more specific issues. Numerous examples and case studies are used to illustrate:
- how ecosystems work and are best utilized
- how to measure wetlands effectiveness and address its failures
- methods for wetlands restoration
advanced students, researchers, and practitioners in wetland ecology, management, and natural resource management.
