More DescriptionIsolated wetlands are currently the most at-risk wetland type in North America. Policy and regulatory decisions must eventually address the value of wetlands as integral parts of forested ecosystems. Seasonal Forest Pools contains state-of-the-art knowledge on this unique type of isolated wetland and related issues. Ideal for use by conservation advocates, this book synthesizes decades of research as a foundation for presenting the tools to conserve these ecosystems. Acknowledging the physical and biological connections between upland and aquatic systems, this text provides a landscape-scale approach to conservation that applies in principal and in practice to all isolated wetlands.
