Description

In the revised and expanded edition of this classic guide, Ralph W.

Tiner introduces readers to the ecology and beauty of the wetlands in eastern North America.

Topics include their formation and functions, wetland types, causes of loss and degradation, and recent efforts to protect them.

The discussion now includes many examples from the Great Lakes region and information on best management practices for working in and around wetlands including vernal pools.

A new chapter on classification and assessment further clarifies how the unique characteristics of these important natural resources serve specific functions. In Search of Swampland alsoprovides a field guide to wetland plants, soils, and animals.

It includes detailed descriptions and illustrations—many of which are new to this edition—of more than 300 plants and 200 animals.

Clear identification keys, information on how to distinguish typical hydric or “wet” soils from dryland soils, and general procedures for identifying wetlands in the field make this book an indispensable resource for readers with little or no training in wetland science, as well as for the scientist or amateur naturalist.
