    Extractions: The Center for Wetlands at the University of Florida, the first of its kind in the world, was founded in 1973 by H.T. Odum. His goal was to use the Center as a focal point for both basic ecological research on wetlands as well as their sustainable use in meeting environmental management needs of the society. The Center quickly became the forum for interfacing traditional engineers with ecologists especially regarding the use of natural and constructed wetlands for waste water treatment. Not only was the Center the first academic group to propose and implement the use of natural systems for waste treatment, but this effort was largely responsible for the development of the entire field of ecological engineering. Currently, such "green" engineering has become the focus of major engineering schools throughout northern and central Europe.

    Extractions: New England Wetlands: Ecology, Functions, and Degradation Wetlands are areas where water covers the soil, or is present either at or near the surface of the soil for at least part of the growing season. The occurrence and flow of water (hydrology) largely determine how the soil develops and the types of plant and animal communities living in and on the soil. Wetlands may support both aquatic and terrestrial species. The prolonged presence of water creates conditions that favor the growth of specially adapted plants (hydrophytes) and promote the development of characteristic wetland (hydric) soils. Wetlands vary widely because of regional and local differences in soils, topography, climate, hydrology, water chemistry, vegetation, and other factors, including human disturbance. Indeed, wetlands are found from the tundra to the tropics and on every continent except Antarctica. Two general categories of wetlands are recognized: tidally-influenced wetlands and nontidal (or inland) wetlands.

    http://www.engr.washington.edu/~uw-epp/cee/ucw.html
    
    Extractions: Use of Constructed Wetlands for Improving Stormwater Quality Natural wetlands have received attention over the past 20 years in studies that have demonstrated the ability of these features to remove several different types of pollutants from contaminated waste streams. As these wetlands have become more highly valued resources, however, questions have been raised about the effects of wastewater on the various ecological functions and resource values of natural wetlands.....questions that are just now being answered. Legal interpretations of the federal Clean Water Act have placed natural wetlands in the category of water resources that cannot be used for the treatment or conveyance of waste. Engineers have also recognized that the relative lack of control of natural wetlands reduces the potential to achieve maximum treatment benefits. These factors have caused an increased level of interest in constructing new wetlands for the expressed purpose of managing wastewater. While most investigations and applications of constructed wetland treatment in the past dealt primarily with municipal sewage and mine drainage, examples of techniques for controlling stormwater quality are now becoming more numerous. A constructed wetland is both a type of wet retention/detention pond and a type of biofilter. Although not all aspects of constructed wetlands for stormwater treatment are fully defined as yet, information from past work on related systems and wastewater types can be used on an interim basis until more studies of these specific systems are completed.

29. Wetland Ecology And Land Use Implications
    Continuing Education Units. Course Topics. wetlands ecology Wetlanddefinitions and classifications; Wetland ecosystem structure  
    http://www.engr.washington.edu/~uw-epp/cee/wep.html
    
    Extractions: Wetlands serve as the transition between fully terrestrial and aquatic systems, offering broad ecological benefits. Because of past land use patterns and the location of wetlands in the landscape, they are often subject to degradation and loss of function during common land alteration activities. Altering the physical, chemical and biological conditions in wetlands and their contributing areas can influence the functions that the "protected" wetland can provide in the future. This course will familiarize you with the major wetland types found in the lowland coastal Pacific Northwest, it will thoroughly explore what parameters determine how a wetland functions, and it will identify some of the key project design parameters needed to minimize and/or avoid adverse effects. The course covers the key concepts of wetland ecology, relating hydrology source and wetland structure to water quality and quantity, wildlife habitat and recharge. The course then focuses on the potential problems of urban wetlands and their protection, based on the Best Available Science findings. You will learn about the implications of landscape setting, the effects of changes in hydrologic conditions and how they might affect plant and animal communities. The course concludes with an emphasis on effective land use and engineering strategies for protecting urban wetlands.

    Extractions: kreeger@acnatsci.org The Wetlands Ecology Group in the Patrick Center primarily studies functional relationships among keystone biota in aquatic ecosystems. Our research seeks to clarify the fundamental trophic linkages between primary producers and consumers, and assesses the role of these trophic interactions in the regulation of energy and biogeochemical nutrient cycles. Of special interest are the effects of anthropogenic activity on these functional relationships. Our work is question-driven, seeking to establish common ecological patterns in a broad range of aquatic habitats, from mountain lakes and streams, to large rivers, estuaries, and their fringing wetlands. Dr. Danielle Kreeger, Assistant Curator, leads the group. Danielle is trained as a physiological ecologist who has conducted experimental research designed to identify the nutritional requirements of suspension-feeding invertebrates and to examine their role in controlling the biomass of microbial autotrophs and heterotrophs, regulating energy and nutrient cycles, and coupling benthic and pelagic systems. Danielle is assisted by numerous personnel in the Wetlands Group.

    Extractions: Wetlands Ecology Functions and Values Wetlands have both terrestrial and aquatic characteristics. Swamps, marshes and bogs are types of wetlands commonly found in the United States. Some wetlands are constantly wet, and some are wet only during certain times of the year. There are many different definitions of wetlands, some scientific and some legal, which affect wetland regulations and wetland protection. Most definitions include three main characteristics of wetlands: 1) presence of surface water or water in the root zone; 2) hydric soils (soils formed under waterlogged conditions); and 3) vegetation that has adapted to living in wet conditions (hydrophytes). Countless variations of these characteristics often make it difficult to determine whether or not a particular area is a wetland. Why are Wetlands Important? Wildlife Habitat Wetlands provide shelter, food, and spawning and nesting sites for many species of birds, fish, mammals, reptiles and invertebrates. Although wetlands make up only about 5 percent of land in the United States, they support about 190 amphibian species and one-third of all bird species in the country. Almost 43 percent of the federally listed threatened and endangered animal species are in some way dependent on wetlands for survival. Floodwater Storage – Depending on the area’s topography and location in the watershed, wetlands can act as water storage areas. Wetlands located along a river are especially valued for their capacity to retain flood water. In 1972, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers determined that loss of wetlands along the Charles River near Boston would have caused $17 million in annual flood damage. A wetland also can act as a recharge site for ground water. This depends upon the season and amount of precipitation, as well as the wetland’s type, location, soils and relationship to the water table.

    Extractions: Wetlands serve as buffers, protecting the shoreline from erosion caused by waves. Wetlands also moderate storm surges from hurricanes and tropical storms. Wetlands act as natural water storage areas during floods and storms, reducing potentially damaging effects by holding high waters and then releasing them slowly as water levels drop. Wetland plants often bond soil to their roots, thereby increasing sediment durability. Wetlands, especially seasonally flooded freshwater wetlands, often serve as groundwater recharge areas where rain and surface water filter into underlying aquifers. These aquifers are often sources of municipal drinking water. Wetlands also filter and remive pollutants (e. g. chemicals, pesticides, and heavy metals) from water by incorporating them into sediments or through plant uptake, which neutralizes and breaks them down biologically, finally releasing the naturally processed elements into the environment. By removing nitrogen and phosphorus, wetlands help prevent the over-enrichment of water.
