Summary

This synthesis of current research and literature examines the status, distribution, and use of wet-land resources. It focuses on understanding the role of wetlands in the landscape and on how to manage wetlands and sustain their important functions. This is a primary reference for the study and management of northern forested wetlands, providing a forum for information discovered by researchers and managers from many nations.
