Extractions: Southern Forested Wetlands: Ecology and Management William H. Conner, Baruch Forest Science Institute, Clemson University, Georgetown, South Carolina An up-to-date, one-source compendium of current knowledge on the wetland ecology of America's southern forests Finally, a comprehensive text that presents current and past management practices, their potential impacts, and appropriate mitigation. Description New information on managing forested wetlands is often developed in isolation of other activities occurring in the region. Although many excellent texts exist on the ecology of southern forested wetlands none present both the ecological and management aspects of these important ecosystems. Compiled by members of the Consortium for Research on Southern Forested Wetlands, this book includes contributions from many experts in the field. It is a collaboration of those working to conserve, study, and manage these economically and environmentally influential areas. Southern Forested Wetlands: Ecology and Management is a textbook for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students as well as a first-rate reference for scientists and managers. Features Provides consistent chapter organization for easy reference Geographic coverage ranges from West Virginia to Florida to Texas and inland north to Arkansas and Tennessee Addresses specific wetland types including deepwater swamps, major and minor alluvial floodplains, pocosins and Carolina bays, mountain fens, pondcypress swamps, flatwoods wetlands, and mangroves

Back to the REU 2001 Home Page Effects of Acid Deposition on a Moss Community in Bog Ecosystem Traditionally, acid deposition has been considered to have a pronounced effect on ecosystems. However, in a nutrient deficient bog ecosystem, the increased nitrogen brought in by acid deposition may increase net primary productivity of the dominant plant species, Sphagnum spp The study of the effects of acid deposition on a moss community was conducted in a bog ecosystem on Altona Flat Rock in Chazy, NY.

Extractions: In December 2001, BSU received a generous donation from the Katherine Neilson-Cram Foundation to create the George W. Nielson Endowed Chair of Wetlands Ecology within the Department of Biology. Dr. Richard Koch was hired in August 2002 to fulfill the goals of this endowment. Dr. Koch is cooperating with faculty and students in Aquatic Biology, Biology, and Environmental Sciences at BSU and with outside natural resource agencies to establish BSU as a national and world leader in wetlands education, research, and management. The Bemidji area is ideal for studying wetlands, since it has a large diversity of local wetland ecosystems, including bogs, fens, marshes, swamps, prairie potholes, lakes and rivers. BSU offers a unique opportunity for training experts in wetland ecology, delineation, management, and preservation. Through the George W. Nielson Endowed Chair, BSU is moving to the forefront in filling the demand for highly skilled wetland professionals needed by natural resource agencies.

Waterfowl Management Handbook

http://www.mesc.usgs.gov/products/pubs/10000/10000.asp

Extractions: Fort Collins, CO 80526 The need for a single source of information about the management of waterfowl and their habitat was originally suggested by the north-central region of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Much of this information exists in scientific papers, unpublished reports, or has never been recorded, and thus is not readily accessible by waterfowl managers. The information in each handbook chapter does not represent a thorough synthesis of all pertinent literature, but rather highlights important information for developing a conceptual framework for wetland managers. Chapters are brief by design, and have figures and tables to facilitate a rapid assessment of information on a specific topic. If a manager wishes additional information, the brief Suggested Reading section lists titles of key papers. The Waterfowl Management Handbook is organized in four sections: The handbook was originally produced as Fish and Wildlife Leaflet 13; that is why the sections are numbered 13.1, 13.2, 13.3, and 13.4. Each chapter here is a separate file in Portable Document Format (PDF). These PDF files can be viewed and printed across all major computing platforms using the Adobe
Coastal Wetlands Fieldtrip
Santa Barbara Coastal wetlands ecology. A halfday tour of the fascinatingwetland resources of the Santa Barbara South Coast.
http://www.geog.ucsb.edu/~apcg2001/fieldtrips/coastal_ecology/

Extractions: Santa Barbara Coastal Wetlands Ecology A half-day tour of the fascinating wetland resources of the Santa Barbara South Coast. Description Hosts Details Description The Santa Barbara South Coast is home to a spectacular diversity of wetland resources, including slough, salt marshes, and vernal pools. These wetlands have both asthetic and ecological appeal, and after decades of urban development, they have become critical refugia for many rare and endangered species. This half-day field trip offers a unique look at these special habitats with a particular emphasis toward on-going restoration activities. The trip will begin on the University of California, Santa Barbara campus with a tour of restoration activites around the beautiful campus lagoon. We will then take a short drive to the Coal Oil Point Natural Reserve. There we will see a variety of restoration projects, focusing on both exotic species removal and the re-creation of characteristic coastal vernal pool habitats. Finally, we will head down the coast to Carpinteria, a beautiful beach town 20 miles east of UCSB. In Carpinteria, we will visit the Carpinteria Salt Marsh and get an introduction by Reserve Director, Wayne Ferren. After visiting the reserve, we will make a lunch stop at a "world famous" grill known as "The Spot" before heading back to campus. Tour highlights

Extractions: GERS Home GERS Table of Contents Page on GERS Affiliated Institutions Starting with this issue, different research centers, labs, university programs, etc. will be highlighted at the GERS site. Recently, I moved from academe to a position at the National Wetlands Research Center , which is a 71,000 square foot federal facility located on 20 acres of research park lands of the University of Southwestern Louisiana in Lafayette. The NWRC Principal investigators in my branch (Wetlands Ecology Branch) include Don Cahoon, Jacoby Carter, Jim Grace, Rebecca Howard, Karen McKee, Tommy Michot, and Chris Onuf (at our Corpus Christi Field Station). In addition, Bill Rizzo still works with us part-time. The bulk of WEB research is in such areas as marsh, mangrove, and seagrass ecology; wetland sediment accretion, erosion, and subsidence; wetland loss and restoration; plant physiological ecology; and modeling. Field sites tend to be focused in the Gulf and Caribbean, although Don has sites ranging from Micronesia to England. Many other biologists in WEB and other branches work in estuaries and are too numerous to mention individually. In addition to basic research, NWRC conducts applied research and gives technical assistance to other federal agencies, especially sister agencies within the Department of Interior such as National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Minerals Management Service, and Bureau of Land Management. Currently, for example, we are working up proposed plans to assess wetland impacts in the Northern Gulf from Hurricane Georges and in Central America from Hurricane Mitch.

Extractions: A 1990 study showed that, without the Congaree Bottomland Hardwood Swamp in South Carolina, the area would need a $5 million wastewater treatment plant. Photo: National Park Service. "Wetlands" is the collective term for marshes, swamps, bogs, and similar areas found in generally flat vegetated areas, in depressions in the landscape, and between dry land and water along the edges of streams, rivers, lakes, and coastlines. Because wetlands have often been regarded as inconvenient or inhospitable, more than half of America's original wetlands have been destroyed. Today we know that wetlands help regulate water levels within watersheds; improve water quality; reduce flood and storm damages; provide important fish and wildlife habitat; and support hunting, fishing, and other recreational activities. Wetlands are among the most productive ecosystems in the world, comparable to rain forests and coral reefs.
