Human disturbance is one of the essential driving forces landscape evolution. The quantitative evaluation spatial and temporal characteristics evolution its relationship with human are great significance to regional ecological protection management crucial for achieving coordinated socioeconomic development ecological–environmental protection. In this study, we took coastal wetlands in northern...

despite to its importance for retaining biodiversity and human health, urban wetlands have received much less attention than other wetland types in northern iran. this study deals with the floristic characteristics of one of the largest urban wetlands in central mazandaran, roshanabad wetland in babol.  all vascular plants were collected during two growing seasons of 2014 and 2015 and water sam...

The rights of Nature, a concept recognised by several courts, legislatures and international governance institutions, is being promoted some non-governmental organisations, scientists, attorneys, Indigenous peoples, local communities, others. In this article we propose Universal Declaration the Rights Wetlands, consistent with 1982 World Charter for Nature. Recognition these supports provision ...

Abstract. Botha J, Haussmann NS. 2023. Comparing bird sightings between grassland and marsh habitats at a rehabilitated wetland in Gauteng Province, South Africa. Biodiversitas 24: 3536-3542. Wetlands, including wetlands, form important feeding nesting sites for large range of species. The restoration degraded wetlands is therefore from biodiversity perspective surveys are needed such systems. ...

Wetlands created within disturbed landscapes may be an important key to restoring lost ecosystem functions. Reclaimed mines provide opportunity create wetlands and restore natural features a landscape while benefiting amphibians, taxa affected by habitat loss. A large-scale restoration effort the Monongahela National Forest, West Virginia, USA has resulted in creation of over 1400 small wetland...

www.frontiersinecology.org © The Ecological Society of America M people have written about the Everglades, but none have done so as elegantly as Marjorie Stoneman Douglass (1947): “There are no other Everglades in the world. They have always been one of the unique regions of the earth, remote, never wholly known. Nothing anywhere else is like them: their vast glittering openness, wider than the...

Restoration of coastal wetlands has the potential to deliver both climate change mitigation, called blue carbon, and adaptation benefits communities, as well supporting biodiversity providing additional ecosystem services. Valuing carbon sequestration may incentivize restoration projects; however, it requires development rigorous methods for quantifying sequestered during wetland restoration. W...

Although wetlands provide a variety of goods and services to people ecosystems, they are the most threatened ecosystem in world because easily degraded. Thus, efforts protect remaining critical if this resource is continue providing environmental, cultural, economic services. Central conservation management understanding attitudes bordering wetlands. This study aimed analyse wetland use urban v...

The use of geographic information systems (GISs) and remote sensing to facilitate the estimation of runoff from watershed and agricultural fields has gained increasing attention in recent years. This is mainly due to the fact that rainfall-runoff models include both spatial and geomorphologic variations. The US Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service Curve Number (USDA...

Natural wetlands, occupying 3.8% of China's land and providing 54.9% of ecosystem services, are unevenly distributed among eight wetland regions. Natural wetlands in China suffered great loss and degradation (e.g., 23.0% freshwater swamps, 51.2% costal wetlands) because of the wetland reclamation during China's long history of civilization, and the population pressure and the misguided policies...
