Broll, Merbach, Pfeiffer : Wetlands in Central Europe : Soil Organisms, Soil Ecological Processes and Trace Gas Emissions

| 2002 | | Geb (Lam), F:16x24 cm, 260 S, 64 Zeichnungen und 59 Tabellen. | WG: Buch | | Wetlands are very sensitive ecosystems, functioning as a habitat for many organisms. Protection and regeneration of wetlands are of great importance in ecological research and in nature conservation. A huge amount of research has been done on the hydrology, plants and animals in wetlands. Knowledge about soil organism and soil ecological pocesses of wetlands is still lacking. This knowledge is a prerequisite for landscape planning purposes or climate change predictions. In the case of climate change, trace gas emissions from wetlands are of great interest. The authors provide an overview of the state-of-the-art on soil ecology in wetlands. The book devided into the following main chapters: Wetlands as habitats for soil organism; Soil ecological processes in ferns and foodplains; Carbon and nitrogen dynamics in soil with difference water regimes; Trace gas emissions. | [E] | |
