　　New focused text introduces readers to wetland ecosystems and

systems approaches to studying wetlands

With its comprehensive coverage of wetland science,

management, and restoration, Mitsch and Gosselink's Wetlands has

been the premier reference on wetlands for more than two decades.

Now, the coverage of specific wetland ecosystem types from earlier

editions of this acclaimed work has been updated, revised, and

supplemented with additional content in order to create this new

text focusing exclusively on wetland ecosystems. This book now

complements Wetlands, Fourth Edition.

Following an introduction to ecosystems in general and wetland

ecosystems in particular, Wetland Ecosystems examines the major

types of wetlands found throughout the world: coastal wetlands,

freshwater marshes and forested swamps, and peatlands. The final

chapter reviews three fundamental systems approaches to studying

wetlands: mesocosms, full-scale experimental ecosystems, and

mathematical modeling.

This new text features:

Updated de*ions of the hydrology, biogeochemistry, and

biology of the main types of wetlands found in the world

New content introducing general ecosystems, wetland ecosystems,

whole ecosystem and mesocosm experiments with wetlands, and systems

ecology and modeling

A detailed de*ion of the ecosystem services provided by

wetlands

A broad international scope, including many examples of wetlands

located outside North America

Two new coauthors offering new perspectives and additional

insights into the latest ecosystem and modeling techniques

An abundance of illustrations helps readers understand how

different biological communities and the abiotic environment in

wetland ecosystems interact and function. Tables and text boxes

provide at-a-glance summaries of key information. Lastly, each

chapter concludes with a list of recommended readings.

This text has been designed as an introduction for students

and professionals in wetland ecology and management, general

ecology, environmental science, and natural resource

management.
