Coastal wetlands in the Laurentian Great Lakes undergo frequent, sometimes dramatic physical changes at varying spatial and temporal scales. Changes in lake levels and subsequent changes in the juxtaposition of vegetation and open water greatly influence biota that use coastal wetlands. Several regional studies have shown that changes in vegetation and lake levels lead to predictable changes in the composition of coastal wetland bird communities. We report new findings of wetland bird community changes at a much broader scale, covering the entire Great Lakes. Our results indicate that water extent and interspersion increased in coastal wetlands across the Great Lakes basin between low (2013) and high (2018) lake-level years, although variation in the magnitude of change occurred within and among lakes. Increases in water extent and interspersion resulted in a general increase in marsh obligate and marsh-facultative bird species richness across the basin. Species like American bittern, common gallinule, American coot, sora, Virginia rail, and pied-billed grebe were significantly more abundant during high water years. Lake Huron and Lake Michigan showed the greatest increase in water extent and interspersion among the five Great Lakes, while Lake Michigan showed the greatest increase in marsh-obligate bird species richness. These results suggest that effective management, restoration, and assessment of wetlands must account for fluctuations in lake levels. Although high lake levels generally provide the most favorable conditions for wetland bird species, variations in lake levels and bird species occurrences produce an ecosystem that is both spatially and temporally dynamic.

This book represents the proceedings of the firstGreat Lakes Costal Wetlands Colloquium (November 5-7, 1984; East Lansing, Michigan). The theme wasNatural and Manipulated Water Levels in Great Lakes Wetlands. This material constitutes both Great Lakes wetlands and the state of understanding about them. It is intended to provide fisheries and wildlife biologists, ecologists, aquatic resource managers and planners and environmental scientists information about the coastal wetlands in regard to eight priority areas. The colloquium and publication of the proceedings were cosponsored by Sea Grant Program and Environment Canada.

“Wetland Habitats of North America is essential reading for everyone who studies, manages, or visits North American wetlands. It fills an important void in the wetland literature, providing accessible and succinct descriptions of all of the continent’s major wetland types.” Arnold van der Valk, Iowa State University “Batzer and Baldwin have compiled the most comprehensive compendium of North American wetland habitats and their ecology that is presently available—a must for wetland scientists and managers.” Irving A. Mendelssohn, Louisiana State University "If you want to gain a broad understanding of the ecology of North America’s diverse wetlands, Wetland Habitats of North America is the book for you. Darold Batzer and Andrew Baldwin have assembled an impressive group of regional wetland scientists who have produced a virtual encyclopedia to the continent’s wetlands. Reading the book is like a road trip across the Americas with guided tours of major wetland types by local experts. Your first stop will be to coastal wetlands with eight chapters covering tidal wetlands along the Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific coasts. Then you’ll travel inland where you can visit any or all of 18 types ranging from bottomland swamps of the Southeast to pothole marshes of the Northern Prairies to montane wetlands of the Rockies to tropical swamps of Central America and desert springs wetlands. All in one book—I’m impressed! Every wetlander should add this book to her or his swampland library. Ralph Tiner, University of Massachusetts–Amherst

"The numerous islands and extensive shoreline of Lake Huron support a wide diversity and abundance of aquatic wildlife. This report examines the current status, trends and distributions of aquatic populations of colonial waterbirds, waterfowl, birds of prey, amphibians, reptiles and fish-eating mammals such as mink and otter on the Canadian shores of Lake Huron. The status of habitat, including coastal wetlands, for some of these species is also reviewed"--Exec. summary.
