Summary

"Wetlands provide numerous ecosystem services including carbon sequestration, water filtration, nutrient retention and flood mitigation, thereby maintaining the ecological health of the surrounding ecosystems. As the understanding of their importance grows, their management and ecology have gained increased attention and have become key topics for environmental management and restoration efforts. Wetlands are also an important contributor to biodiversity, being the permanent or transient home for many species. Finally, wetlands constitute an important food source, provide recreational opportunities and are often the main source of income for the communities bordering them"-- Provided by publisher.
