Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wetlands are critical ecosystems that provide habitats for diverse species and play an essential role in environmental conservation by filtering pollutants and mitigating the impact of floods and storms. The effective monitoring of wetland ecosystems is crucial to ensure their continued health and conservation. Current challenges in wetland monitoring include limited access to remote areas and a lack of coordinated data collection efforts.
This Special Issue aims to gather interdisciplinary research advancing our understanding of wetland ecosystems and promoting sustainable monitoring practices. It seeks to provide a platform for researchers, conservationists, and policymakers to share insights, exchange ideas, and develop collaborative approaches to the sustainable monitoring and conservation of wetland ecosystems. We encourage submissions that not only document the status and trends of wetland ecosystems but also offer solutions and strategies for their sustainable management and conservation.
This Special Issue will welcome manuscripts that link the following themes:
- wetland ecology, hydrology, soil and sediment characteristics, and the development of innovative monitoring techniques;
- discussions on the development and implementation of policies aimed at wetland protection, as well as management practices which enhance the resilience of these ecosystems;
- carbon–nitrogen cycles, climate change, and the underlying mechanisms affecting their interaction;
- Landscape characteristics affecting wetland restoration.
We look forward to receiving your original research articles and reviews.
Prof. Dr. Yongheng Gao
