About this book

Explores how the management of wetlands can influence carbon storage and fluxes.

Wetlands are vital natural assets, including their ability to take-up atmospheric carbon and restrict subsequent carbon loss to facilitate long-term storage. They can be deliberately managed to provide a natural solution to mitigate climate change, as well as to help offset direct losses of wetlands from various land-use changes and natural drivers.

Wetland Carbon and Environmental Management presents a collection of wetland research studies from around the world to demonstrate how environmental management can improve carbon sequestration while enhancing wetland health and function.

Volume highlights include:

  • Overview of carbon storage in the landscape
  • Introduction to wetland management practices
  • Comparisons of natural, managed, and converted wetlands
  • Impact of wetland management on carbon storage or loss
  • Techniques for scientific assessment of wetland carbon processes
  • Case studies covering tropical, coastal, inland, and northern wetlands
  • Primer for carbon offset trading programs and how wetlands might contribute
