Abstract Nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus are typically considered detrimental to wetland values, but waterfowl can be numerous on nutrient-rich wetlands. Waterfowl were counted three six times per year nine treatment lagoons associated wetlands (2,025 ha) at the Western Treatment Plant (south-east Australia) from 2000, help maintain ecological values of this Ramsar-listed well treatin...

Accumulation of trace metals in sediment can cause severe ecological impacts. The present study determines the elemental concentrations and chemical partitioning of heavy metals in surface sediment of Shadegan wetland. Shadegan wetland is one of the most important wetlands in southwest of Iran and it is in Ramsar-listed wetlands. For this purpose, 7 sampling stations were selected for sediment ...

The lower Murray River (Australia) has been subject to considerable change from human activities, including the conversion of a variable flow system one with regulated water levels and estuary freshwater system. These conditions will face further pressures owing reduced flows higher sea associated climate change. Policy decisions retain present target could be reconsidered improve habitat for w...

This paper is aimed to generalize and analyze information about endangered wildlife species in the disturbed fen site (comparing state of surrounding wetlands) predict their condition during rehabilitation restoration subsequent monitoring successional processes wetland ecosystems. The research was carried out on territory Biosphere Reserve UNESCO “Nizhegorodskoe Zavolzhye” example Kamskoe–Osin...

Gunbower Forest is bordered by the Murray River and Creek hosts several floodplain wetlands listed under Ramsar Convention. Sediment cores were retrieved from three to trace changes their ecological state over time. The basal sediments of date back beginning river regulation in 1930s, suggesting that only after then they inundated sufficiently often allow for net sediment accumulation. diatoms ...

Mangrove ecosystems dominate the coastal wetlands of tropical and subtropical regions throughout the world. They provide various ecological and economical ecosystem services contributing to coastal erosion protection, water filtration, provision of areas for fish and shrimp breeding, provision of building material and medicinal ingredients, and the attraction of tourists, amongst many other fac...

Background We intend to study the inhibitory effect of sulfur compound in Ramsar hot spring mineral on tumor-genesis ability of high natural background radiation. Objective The radioprotective effect of sulfur compounds was previously shown on radiation-induced chromosomal aberration, micronuclei in mouse bone marrow cells and human peripheral lymphocyte. Ramsar is known for having the highes...

Morocco plays a key role in the life of many migratory birds and their survival, thanks to diversity richness its ecosystems. The International Waterbird Census (IWC) has been regularly implemented since 1983. Thanks this program, large database on wintering waterbirds’ populations collected. In article, we summarize data three globally threatened waterbirds: Aythya ferina, Marmaronetta angusti...
