Classification of Habitats in Bakhtegan wetland (Fars Province) in Mediterranean Wetland System
Understanding ecosystems and their zonation based on their characteristics and sensitivities is an essential step in protecting natural resources and the sustainability of their habitats. The Mediterranean Wetland Habitat Classification System (MEDWET) is used to identify Bakhtegan wetland, Fars Province, Iran, by hierarchical classification of their habitats, in which they are identified and d...
متن کاملEffects of Aeration, Vegetation, and Iron Input on Total P Removal in a Lacustrine Wetland Receiving Agricultural Drainage
Utilizing natural wetlands to remove phosphorus (P) from agricultural drainage is a feasible approach of protecting receiving waterways from eutrophication. However, few studies have been carried out about how these wetlands, which act as buffer zones of pollutant sinks, can be operated to achieve optimal pollutant removal and cost efficiency. In this study, cores of sediments and water were co...
متن کاملPhosphorus retention in a newly constructed wetland receiving agricultural tile drainage water.
One measure used in Sweden to mitigate eutrophication of waters is the construction of small wetlands (free water surface wetland for phosphorus retention [P wetlands]) to trap particulate phosphorus (PP) transported in ditches and streams. This study evaluated P retention dynamics in a newly constructed P wetland serving a 26-ha agricultural catchment with clay soil. Flow-proportional composit...
متن کاملImpact of sedimentation on wetland carbon sequestration in an agricultural watershed.
Landscape redistribution of soil C is common within agricultural ecosystems. Little is known about the effects of upland sediment deposition on C dynamics within riparian wetlands. To assess sedimentation impact, we obtained profile samples of wetland soil and used the combination of (137)Cs, (210)Pb, and (14)C chronological markers to determine rates of C sequestration and mineral deposition o...
متن کاملApplying Hydrological Thresholds To Wetland Management For Waterbirds, Using Bathymetric Surveys And GIS
The Lake Warden wetland system (LWWS), on the south coast of Western Australia (WA), is a wetland of international importance for waterbirds. It occurs at the bottom of a heavily cleared agricultural catchment. Rising water levels associated with clearing have been identified as a threat to waterbird diversity. Different species of waterbird are typically found in specific ranges of water depth...
