In species with complex life cycles, such as pond-breeding amphibians, the selection of a suitable wetland is crucial.
Modern distribution maps are potentially misleading for a couple of important reasons: first and foremost, there has been climatic change such that areas of suitable tropical and subtropical climate with suitable wetland areas will have shifted dramatically over the past 20,000 years.
This study first presents a tool to identify the most suitable areas for the restoration of surface flow wetlands for water quality improvement in a given catchment and secondly compares three different mathematical equations in order to quantify the effect of nitrogen retention when restoring the previously selected, most suitable wetland sites.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of two constructed wetlands (CW1 and CW2) for the wastewater treatment of metallurgical industries and determine if contaminants are retained by the sediment or the plants, key knowledge for suitable wetland management.
The availability of suitable wetland habitat is also in decline.
For areas smaller than our study, algae taxa may be suitable for wetland MMIs.
A two-phase approach was used: the first is to develop criteria, or environmental indicators, to identify the total population of sites suitable for wetland restoration.
The model is useful to locate sites suitable for wetland restoration programmes, for the introduction of faunistic corridors considering the NATURA2000 network, and aims to favour success in regional conservation planning.
The dredge sediment is assumed suitable as a wetland enhancement material and the assumed area of the designated wetland is 50,000 m2 with an average fill depth of 2 m.
Carex aquatilis could be a suitable species for wetland reclamation in mined boreal landscapes as those of the oil sands industry (Northern Alberta).
