Description
Springer Ecology Of Tidal Freshwater Forested Wetlands Of The Southeastern United States 2007 Edition by William H. Conner Thomas W. Doyle Ken W. Krauss
This book draws together the latest findings on the hydrological processes community organization and stress physiology of freshwater tidally influenced land-margin forests of the southeastern United States. It describes the land use history that led to the restricted distribution of these wetlands and provides descriptions of the hydrology soils biogeochemistry and physiological ecology of these systems highlighting the similarities shared among tidal freshwater forested wetlands.
