TAILIEUCHUNG - BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION AND UTILIZATION IN A DIVERSE WORLD

Wetlands are the ecotonal or transitional zones between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems where the water table is usually at or near the surface of the land, which is covered by the shallow water (Mitsch & Gosselink, 1986). Due to these characteristics, wetlands provide opportunities for adaptations to different plant and animal species with high diversity of life-forms. Thus wetlands are among the most biologically diverse and productive ecosystems on earth. Wetlands can further be classified by one or more of the following attributes: (a) at least periodically, the land supports hydrophytes, (b) the substrate is predominantly undrained hydric soil, and (c) the substrate is saturated with water. | Biodiversity Conservation and Utilization in a Diverse World Edited by Gbolagade Akeem Lameed BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION AND UTILIZATION IN A DIVERSE WORLD Edited by Gbolagade Akeem Lameed Biodiversity Conservation and Utilization in a Diverse World http 3330 Edited by Gbolagade Akeem Lameed Contributors Dariusz Jaskulski Iwona Jaskulska .
