An Integrated Approach to Wetland Ecosystem Science provides the long- term integrated scientific studies needed to understand the functioning of the Everglades region. Background information about current and historical ecological conditions of the region set the context for reports of long-term research projects. Subsequent sections present models for predicting responses to various conditions and analyze the studies and models, focusing on management and restoration of the Everglades. This book will interest professionals and graduate students interested in ecosystems and wetland ecology.
