1. Wetland Landscape Characterization

   Practical Tools, Methods, and Approaches for Landscape Ecology, Second Edition

   By Ricardo D. Lopez, John G. Lyon, Lynn K. Lyon, Debra K. Lopez

   Wetlands are, by their very nature, ephemeral and transitional, which makes them challenging to characterize. Yet the need for characterizing wetlands continues to grow, particularly as we develop a better understanding of the wealth of ecosystem services that they provide. Wetland Landscape...
