Soil organic carbon fractions included microbial biomass carbon (MBC), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and labile organic carbon (LOC), which was investigated over a 0-20 cm depth profile in three types of wetland in Hongze Lake of China. Their ecoenvironmental effect and the relationships with soil organic carbon (SOC) were analyzed in present experiment. The results showed that both active an...

The sika deer (Cervus nippon yesoensis) population in the Ramsar-listed Kushiro Wetland has increased in recent years, and the Ministry of the Environment of Japan has decided to take measures to reduce the impact of deer on the ecosystem. However, seasonal movement patterns of the deer (i.e., when and where the deer inhabit the wetland) remain unclear. We examined the seasonal movement pattern...

wetlands in the lower reaches of songhua river (lrsr), northeast china, are rich in biodiversityand natural resources, which provide crucial staging and wintering habitats for various endangered species.however, in the past five decades, the size of this wetland area has decreased, and its quality has deteriorated because of increased natural and human activities. wetland restoration is critica...

This extension note describes the basic ecological features of wetland ecosystems. It is a foundational document that provides important concepts and background information to be applied in future extension notes on wetland management. Major topics and concepts covered in this document are: • definition of a wetland ecosystem and comparison of characteristics with other related ecosystems, • re...

The Tumen River Basin, located in the cross-border region of China, North Korea, and Russia, constitutes an important ecological barrier China. Forest here is mainly distributed around wetland, with distribution wetland having potential to regulate regional forest carbon storage. However, spatially explicit map aboveground biomass (AGB) impact drivers, i.e., climate, still lacking. We thus use ...
