Wetland systems involve a complex range of important biological, chemical, and hydrologic interactions among individual wetlands which contribute to ecological health. Modification of the landscape due to anthropogenic development has a direct impact on the connectivity supporting these interactions as well as the ecology of a region. It is thus important for individuals and agencies involved in the management and protection of wetland systems to understand the baseline condition of wetlands, supported interactions, and how potential land use and infrastructure modifications may change the strength of underlying connectivity. This baseline connectivity should, therefore, be rigorously defined, accommodating considerations of different types of connectivity and measurement systems. To better understand these issues, a framework is proposed for representing and reasoning about the connectivity of aquatic resources. In particular, a corridor-based representation of connectivity and network-based optimization methods have been developed and implemented in a geographic information system to establish a baseline level of connectivity and to model the effect of potential landscape changes. The developed framework is applied to a wetland system in Missouri to demonstrate the tradeoff between proposed mitigation options and ease of ensuring sustained system connectivity. More broadly, this type of connectivity analysis can be used to inform many types of planning decisions such as those considering alternative courses of development, prioritization of wetland management/protection resources as well as those addressing policy or regulatory matters.

"The objective of this project was to develop statewide maps of wetland connectivity to inform wetland risk assessment and prioritisation. To represent the diverse biota of wetland systems, the project aimed to develop models of wetland connectivity for waterbirds, amphibians, wind-dispersed plant propagules and water. Understanding patterns of connectivity for waterbirds also provides insight into the dispersal patterns of plant and invertebrate propagules which they carry. Water acts as both a conduit for the movement of actively dispersing taxa and a dispersal vector for taxa which disperse passively, such as plant and invertebrate propagules."--Page 1.

This report reviews more than 1,200 peer-reviewed publications and summarizes current scientific understanding about the connectivity and mechanisms by which streams and wetlands, singly or in aggregate, affect the physical, chemical, and biological integrity of downstream waters. It focuses on surface and shallow subsurface connections by which small or temporary streams, nontidal wetlands, and open waters affect larger waters such as rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and estuaries. This report represents the state-of-the-science on the connectivity and isolation of waters in the U.S. Scientific literature unequivocally demonstrates that streams, regardless of their size or frequency of flow, are connected to downstream waters and strongly influence their function.

This book informs readers on the ecology, ecosystem services, and management of Sundaland wetland ecosystems, discussing the concepts and tools necessary to conserve these imperiled habitats. Sundaland is a biogeographically defined area of South East Asia characterised by an exceptional concentration of endemic species. The unprecedented loss of wetland habitats within Sundaland warrants urgency in implementing conservation actions. The authors are both researchers who have witnessed the ongoing losses of wetland habitats in Sundaland. The first chapter introduces fundamental concepts of ecosystems, ecological processes and ecosystem services of coastal and inland wetlands. The second chapter provides an overview of the global and regional conservation status of these ecosystems. The third chapter advances the importance of wetlands management at the landscape level (drainage basins), and proposes to adopt the concept of Ecotonal Networks (ENTs) as a sustainable management method, within the theoretical framework of Resilience Theory. The fourth chapter showcases potential flagship species that can aid in raising awareness on these endangered but poorly-known ecosystems. The fifth chapter discusses sustainable ecotourism as a viable and profitable industry to manage non-urban wetland areas of Sundaland, while providing specific suggestions for future developments. The book is written for ecosystem managers, conservation scientists, ecologists, and nature enthusiasts. It consists of a coherently arranged set of scientifically accurate tools that consider societal, cultural, and economic factors to succeed in the conservation of the Sundaland wetlands, as well as other wetland habitats in the world.

Methods for characterizing wetland-to-stream chemical connectivity were developed to help regulators define jurisdiction and wetland managers prioritize their use of resources. Chemical connectivity here is based on historic stream water quality found using publically available databases and analyzed in a Geographic Information System (GIS). Although stream data was readily available, wetland data was not abundant. Interpolation methods were therefore developed using observed water quality data points in streams and projecting them to adjacent wetlands. The different interpolation methods were compared using their root mean square error (RMSE) and local polynomial interpolation (LPI) for chloride data and Universal Kriging for specific conductance data was found to typically yield the best results. To also address the lack of actual wetland water quality data a relative site suitability analysis approach using GIS was developed to determine monitoring locations for generating additional data. The key environmental variables identified that relate to connectivity and potential health of the wetlands include hydrology and land use. In additional to conservative water quality parameters, the idea of measuring fluorescence-based excitation and emission matrix (EEM) is introduced. This is a rapid assessment source tracking tool for identifying the natural organic matter (NOM) in different waters. EEM trends through two drinking water treatment plants demonstrate the consistency of the EEM signature and shows that only the more aggressive chemical activities cause notable changes.

From a raccoon scampering along the water's edge to a young fish darting between tall reeds in the shallows, wetlands are teaming with life. All of the plants and animals in this watery home rely on one another to live healthy lives. When some of that wetland life is put at risk, others soon suffer. Uncover the truth about biodiversity, explore its impact on the environment, and learn what you can do to help life in the ocean. Approachable text and engaging images bring this timely topic to life.
