Prepared by a committee drawn from academia, government, and business, this volume explores how to define wetlands and presents a scientific basis for their definition. Also discusses the diverse hydrological and ecological functions of wetlands and makes recommendations concerning so-called controversial areas such as permafrost wetlands, riparian ecosystems, irregularly flooded sites, and agricultural wetlands.
