Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wetlands function to improve water quality, support biological diversity, and enhance productivity within watersheds. It is widely understood that ecosystem services provided by wetlands contribute to the integrity of ecosystems and benefit human populations, as well as contributing many other benefits.
The probable responses by wetlands to change, both human-induced and natural, is often less well understood. Understanding the response of wetlands to climate change and myriad human activities around the globe would assist in managing existing wetlands and restoring degraded ones.
The purpose of this issue of Water is to serve as an outlet for information on the ecology, management, and protection of riparian wetlands. This issue of Water will differ from much of the current literature by encouraging contributions from a diverse authorship, thereby providing a global view of the topic.
