Tidal Wetland Ecology of Long Island Sound (Part 1) Part 2 Part 3 R. Scott Warren, Professor of Botany, Paul E. Fell, Katherine Blunt Professor of Zoology, Connecticut College W etlands are transitional zones between terrestrial and aquatic systems where the water table is usually at or near the surface, or the land is actually covered by water either permanently or periodically. Wetlands typically support hydrophytes (plants adapted to wetland conditions) and the substrate is hydric (wet) mineral and/or organic soil that is usually poor to very poorly drained. Tidal wetlands occur at the land/ocean interface where daily tidal action moves water in and out of the systems. Along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the United States, tidal wetlands are found from northern Maine to southern Texas. From all but the southern tip of Florida, where mangrove swamps occur, these coastal wetlands are tidal marshes, where grasses are the predominant vegetation. Long Island Sound marshes are technically classified as Estuarine Emergent Wetlands, because the Sound is an estuary, and the vegetation emerges above the water level. Tidal Wetlands as Estuarine Ecosystems Although these wetlands have a north-south range of over 2,000 kilometers (1,200 miles), Atlantic and Gulf tidal wetlands are remarkably homogeneous in their plant and animal communities. The basic physical and biological structure of these communities comes from a few species of Cord-grass in the genus Spartina, particularly Smooth Cord-grass (

FWS/OBS-79/31. Introduction Wetlands provide important "goods and services", including critical habitat for many aquatic and semi-aquatic species, floodwater storage, transformation of nutrients, and filtering of pollutants. These important systems, often called "kidneys of the landscape", are disappearing at a rapid rate all over the globe. Recognition of their value and concerns over these losses have prompted conservation of remaining wetlands, restoration of degraded systems, and creation of artificial wetlands to mitigate ongoing losses. Today's challenges demand that a wetland biologist be a "jack of all trades" with expertise in ecology, soil science, hydrology, engineering, and policy. Scientists, managers, and policy-makers alike need a common language and understanding to facilitate communication with each other and the public. The goal of this course is to provide such a foundation upon which the student of wetlands can build.

Research entire www.onderzoekinformatie.nl site fuzzy match Project: Wetland ecology and technology Print View Titel Ecologie van waterrijke natuurgebieden en technologie Abstract Context: Wetlands in river valleys, plains and in coastal areas play an important role in controlling water quality. The wetland ecosystems are able to decrease concentration of nutrients, organic material, some metals and micro-pollutants by processes of breakdown and/or uptake. This program focuses on the analysis and quantification of these processes in natural and constructed wetland ecosystems. The program includes also the selection of sites for construction, the design and management of purifying wetlands. Aim: Monitoring and modeling the pollution decrease in natural and constructed wetland ecosystems, the development of selection procedures for optimization of sites for new wetlands and for conservation of existing wetland ecosystems. Methods: Monitoring and modeling of nutrients and suspended material budget loads measurements of fluxes and sampling schemes.

Research programme Centre for Wetland Ecology (CWE) A hierarchical approach to the ecological functioning of wetland ecosystems: The role of vegetation contact: R.Laanbroek Introduction Role of vegetation in the functioning of catchments From the above-mentioned characteristics of macrophytes, it is apparent that vegetation has a major impact on different functions of freshwater ecosystems. A multidisciplinary study of the role of vegetation in the functioning of these ecosystems will enlarge our understanding of their behaviour. As plants function on different levels of complexity, i.e. the individual level, the population level, the community level, the ecosystem level and finally the level of the river catchment itself, studies on the role of vegetation should be performed at all these levels. The individual level The population level The community level The ecosystem level The catchment level Little is known about the maintenance and functioning of aquatic ecosystems within an entire catchment. Are different parts of the catchment separately functioning systems or is a catchment one larger ecosystem, intermittently or permanently connected by the hydrological cycle, where we can only understand the behaviour of one part when we have also information on the other parts? The catchment level is also the most appropriate level to pose questions related to the functioning of aquatic ecosystems in order to restore vital functions such as the self-purifying potential and the buffering capacity related to water discharge.

The objective of this study was to determine how a gradient in soil salinity affected litter, flower, and fruit production in a Pterocarpus officinalis. Three 100 m plots were established in each of three sites along a salinity gradient: pasture/ Pterocarpus edge (low salinity, mean salinity at 60 cm–9.7gKg Pterocarpus forest (intermediate salinity, 11.5 g Kg )and a Pterocarpus / mangrove ecotone (high salinity, 15.0 g Kg ).

HOME Return to Wetland habitats and species or Wetland habitats page Wetland Ecology This page was last updated Wetlands exist because of the complex interaction between their climate, geology, soil, topography and hydrology. Climate: Wetlands normally occur in areas of high precipitation which is why the highlands of Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland are particularly good for wetlands. Geology: Most wetlands are underlain by geology which tends to hold water well. Aquifers - geological strata that allows significant flow or abstraction of water. Soils: The type of soil, normally determines the type of plant community that lives in a wetland and this in turn will determine the type of wetland ecosystem. Topography: Wetlands tend to operate in areas where drainage is poor, so that water is contained on/our moves slowly across the site. Hydrology: Within any particular wetland there will be water inputs e.g.. precipitation, water stored on site and moving across the site (normally determined by the topography) and water leaving the site. This complex cycle of water is called its hydrology. Wetland Species: Wetlands are largely inhospitable places to most plants. Plants that live particularly in paludic or waterlogged wetlands usually do so because they have managed to survive there in spite of, rather than because of, its wet conditions. There they suffer from less competition than areas of dry land, where dominant species tend to prevail. Wetlands tend particularly to support highly specialist species.

Wetland Ecology The conservation and management of wetlands must be built upon a scientific understanding of how wetlands function, and how the species within them interact. Remarkably, far too much wetland-related work overlooks important processes such as changes in water levels, fertility and competition. The natural variation in such factors is essential for producing and maintaining the array of wetlands currently found in our landscapes.
