Physical wetland characteristics influence amphibian community composition differently in constructed wetlands and natural wetlands

Ecological Engineering, 2016
Abstract Wetlands provide critical habitat for a diverse group of organisms and provide important ecosystem services. Despite this, most natural wetlands have been lost to anthropogenic activities, and as a result, wetland construction is common mitigation practice.

Microbial‐driven carbon fixation in natural wetland

Journal of Basic Microbiology, 2023
AbstractWith the development of global industrialization, carbon neutrality has become an issue that we must be paid attention to. Microorganisms not only have an important impact on the carbon chemical cycle between the Earth's biosphere and biogeography but also play a key role in maintaining the global organic carbon balance.

Methane emissions from natural wetlands

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 1996
Methane is considered one of the most important greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Because of the strict anaerobic conditions required by CH4-generating microorganisms, natural wetland ecosystems are one of the main sources of biogenic CH4. The total natural wetland area is estimated to be 5.3 to 5.7 × 10(12) m(2), making up less than 5% of the Earth ...

Wetlands Ecosystems: Natural Water Purifiers?

2020
Everyone has a vague idea of what constitutes a wetland, but not everyone has the same idea. In a geological sense, natural wetlands are an ephemeral component of the landscape, highly dependent upon disturbance whether as long-term, large-scale tectonic forces or localized phenomena such as annual or daily flooding and drying, fire, or storm events ...

Multifunctional Wetlands: Pollution Abatement by Natural and Constructed Wetlands

2017
Both freshwater and marine ecosystems are degraded by pollution from nutrients, suspended solids, pathogens, siltation, oxygen-depleting substances, metals and organic contaminants. Natural wetlands play a significant role in reducing adverse impacts on water quality associated with pollution, and decrease the need for costly infrastructure ...
