Description for Ecology of Tidal Freshwater Forested Wetlands of the Southeastern United States
Hardback. Draws together various findings on the hydrological processes, community organization, and stress physiology of freshwater, tidally influenced land-margin forests of the southeastern United States. This book describes the land use history that led to the restricted distribution of these wetlands. Editor(s): Conner, William H.; Doyle, Thomas W.; Krauss, Kenneth W. Num Pages: 505 pages, biography. BIC Classification: 1KBBF; PSAF; PSPF; RBKF. Category: (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 28. Weight in Grams: 901.
Tidal freshwater forested wetlands represent an intriguing and und- studied type of ecosystem in the southeastern United States. The phy- ographic position of tidal freshwater forested wetlands in occupying low lying, coastal areas makes them susceptible to upland runoff, tidal flo- ing, saltwater intrusion, and other global climate change phenomena. While information on them is rather sparse in the scientific literature, these ecosystems are among the most sensitive to sea-level rise and increased drought or flood frequency. Tidal freshwater forested wetlands are readily impacted by acute and chronic exposure to even low levels of salinity. The combined stress of flooding ... Read more

Reviews for Ecology of Tidal Freshwater Forested Wetlands of the Southeastern United States
From the reviews: "Tidal freshwater wetlands, upstream from saline coastal estuaries, present remarkable habitats now threatened by a variety of factors including climate change and sea level rise. The editors, along with 50 contributors … here present recent, much-needed studies of these endangered areas. … The volume offers good reviews of the current use and ... Read more
