Hydrological Classification of Canadian Prairie Wetlands and Prediction of Wetland Inundation in Response to Climatic Variability


Book Description

"Several wetland classification schemes have been devised to facilitate waterfowl management in North America. These schemes were developed primarily from vegetational, not hydrological, characteristics of wetlands and so do not consider annual changes in slough responses to climatic variability. Here we provide a hydrological scheme that proves to be consistent with Millar's (1976) ecological classification scheme"--Abstract.




The Ecology, Status and Conservation of Marine and Shoreline Birds of the Queen Charlotte Islands
