Title: Understanding wetlands
First published: 2003
Description: "Understanding Wetlands explains how these unique habitats are created naturally and how they sustain themselves. It describes how the flora and fauna of wetlands are ideally adapted to their environment and how the ecosystem copes with pollutants and climatic change. The impact of human activity such as farming, building and recreation is also assessed. The book concludes with a look at the need for conservation." "This integrated and holistic account of wetlands is a valuable reference for students of ecology, biology and environmental science. Its beautiful illustrations and accessible style also make it ideal for the general reader interested in the natural world."--Jacket.
