A survey in ecology of freshwater and estuarine wetlands, this volume addresses the physical environment, geomorphology, biogeochemistry, soils, and hydrology of both freshwater and estuarine wetlands. Focusing on the ecology of key organisms, it reviews how hydrology and chemistry constrain wetlands plants and animals
