Monitoring Wetland Change Using Inter-Annual Landsat Time-Series DataWetlands - Tập 32 - Trang 1149-1162 - 2012
Nilam Kayastha, Valerie Thomas, John Galbraith, Asim Banskota
Successful conservation and management of wetlands requires up-to-date and accurate information on wetland location, size, condition, functionality, type, services provided, stressors and net change in extent. Most change detection studies utilize two date images to provide information on wetland dynamics. Comparison of infrequent imagery might not sufficiently capture natural variability in wetla...... hiện toàn bộ
Phosphorus dynamics from vegetated catchment to lakebed during seasonal refillingWetlands - Tập 24 - Trang 828-836 - 2004
Song Qiu, Arthur J. McComb, Richard W. Bell, Jenny A. Davis
Seasonal wetlands of the Swan Coastal Plain in southwestern Australia often dry in summer, refill during heavy winter rains, and are commonly surrounded by vegetated catchments. However, the linkage between catchment litter turnover and lake P dynamics is poorly understood. A transect from catchment uplands to the dry lakebed of Thomsons Lake was studied with the progression of the wet season. Att...... hiện toàn bộ
Icelandic Inland Wetlands: Characteristics and Extent of DrainingWetlands - Tập 36 - Trang 759-769 - 2016

Iceland has inland wetland areas with soils exhibiting both Andosol and Histosol properties which are uncommon elsewhere on Earth. They are generally fertile, with higher bird-nest densities than in similar wetlands in the neighboring countries, with nutrients released by rapid weathering of aeolian materials of basaltic nature. Icelandic inland wetlands cover about 9000 km2 constituting 19.4 % of...... hiện toàn bộ
Geoelectrical Fingerprinting of Two Contrasting Ecohydrological Peatland Types in the AlpsWetlands - Tập 37 - Trang 875-884 - 2017
Timothy D. Bechtel, Nico Goldscheider
Peatlands are valuable but fragile ecosystems with diverse biogeochemical and hydrological functions, so their characterization requires non-destructive investigation. We studied adjacent alpine peatlands of similar size, at the same altitude, and exposed to identical climatic conditions, but with differing topographic and geologic settings producing contrasting ecohydrological functioning; one is...... hiện toàn bộ
A comparison of the vegetation and soils of natural, restored, and created coastal lowland wetlands in Hawai‘iWetlands - Tập 29 - Trang 1023-1035 - 2009
Meris Bantilan-Smith, Gregory L. Bruland, Richard A. MacKenzie, Adonia R. Henry, Christina R. Ryder
The loss of coastal wetlands throughout the Hawaiian Islands has increased the numbers of created (CW) and restored (RW) wetlands. An assessment of these wetlands has yet to occur, and it has not been determined whether CWs and RWs provide the same functions as natural wetlands (NWs). To address these concerns, vegetation and soil characteristics of 35 wetlands were compared within sites along hyd...... hiện toàn bộ
Hydrologic and water-quality characteristics of a Wetland receiving wastewater effluent in St. Joseph, MinnesotaWetlands - Tập 9 - Trang 191-206 - 1989
Rob G. Brown, James R. Stark
Hydrologic and water-quality characteristics were determined for a wetland being used for tertiary treatment of wastewater in St. Joseph, Minnesota. The wetland consists of spruce-tamarack fen and a cattail marsh, with the wastewater being discharged into the fen, and the fen draining into the marsh. The wetland is underlain by flat-lying glacial outwash that ranges from 0 to greater than 20 m in ...... hiện toàn bộ
