Limitations in nutrients and physicochemical parameters play a key role in aquatic ecosystems. The present study aimed to determine the influential physicochemical factors in the chlorophyll-a content for wetland management by identifying the restricting factors in primary production. Sampling was conducted during March 2017-February 2018. Factors such as water salinity, temperature, pH, nitrat...

Backgroundand Aim. Natural organic matter (NOM) has become one of the most serious environmental problems due to its persistence in aqueous solutions and risk carcinogenesis. In this study, removal efficiencies real synthetic humic acid (HA) by multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) coated with iron oxide were evaluated. Materials Methods. The MWCNs synthesized oxide. addition, effects pH, cont...

Conservation management of wetland-dependent species generally focuses on preserving or increasing wetland habitat. However, the quality of the landscape matrix (the intervening non-wetland portion of the landscape) has been shown to be more important than wetland availability for some wetland-dependent species. We used meta-analysis to compare the effects of wetland amount (measured as the are...

A wetland inventory and assessment was made as a basis for development of a national wetlands policy for Colombia (CMWP). Major wetlands were identified from a 1:1 500 000 scale national hydrological map. Of 57 major wetlands in 27 catchments or wetland complexes, wetlands in 16 of these were selected for assessment. Wetland type, ecological status and wetland value for each wetland was scored ...

Wetlands play important ecological, economic, and cultural roles in societies around the world. However, wetland degradation has become a serious ecological issue, raising the global sustainability concern. An accurate wetland map is essential for wetland management. Here we used a fuzzy method to create a hybrid wetland map for China through the combination of five existing wetlands datasets, ...

Long-term intensive land use/cover changes (LUCCs) of the Yellow River Delta (YRD) have been happening since the 1960s. The land use patterns of the LUCCs are crucial for bio-diversity conservation and/or sustainable development. This study quantified patterns of the LUCCs, explored the systematic transitions, and identified wetland change trajectory for the period 1976–2014 in the YRD. Landsat...

Wetland assessment tools are being developed and employed in wetland monitoring and conservation based on physical, chemical and biological characterization. In wetland biological assessment, various ecological functions have been described by biological traits of an entire species pool that adapts to different types of wetland environments. Since microorganisms play a key role in wetland bioge...
