Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the transition zone of water and land ecosystems, wetlands, together with forests and oceans, are the three major ecosystems on earth, with a variety of important ecological functions such as biodiversity maintenance, carbon sequestration, water containment, etc., and play an important role in maintaining national and regional ecological security and promoting sustainable social and economic development. However, due to the dual influence of natural environmental changes such as climate change, sea level rise and human activities such as wetland protection and restoration and resource exploitation, wetland ecosystems are evolving dramatically and the spatial development pattern of evolution is extremely uneven, with both areas of wetlands undergoing severe degradation and areas of wetland ecological restoration. The dynamic evolution of wetlands will have a large impact on hydrology, biogeochemical cycles, ecological components, structure, function and diversity, and ecological environment. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to invite and share new concepts, methods and discoveries in this specialized field.
