Together with its companion volume Wetlands: Functioning, Biodiversity Conservation, and Restoration, this volume gives a broad and well-integrated overview of recent major scientific results in wetland science and their applications in natural resource management issues.

After an introduction to the field, 13 chapters contributed by internationally known experts summarize the state of the art on their particular subject. The chapters are divided into the following four sections:

*The Role of Wetlands for Integrated Water Resources Management: Putting Theory into Practice

*Wetland Science for Environmental Management

*Wetland Biogeochemistry

*Wetlands and Climate Change Worldwide

The volume is of interest to wetland scientists, natural resource managers and policy makers.
