Full Description

Wetlands: Biodiversity, Health, and their Role in Ecosystem Services offers a comprehensive exploration of the vital roles that wetlands play in our global ecosystem. This insightful volume adopts a holistic approach to examine the rich biodiversity, water and soil quality, and the community structures that sustain these unique environments. The book, split into four sections, delves into various ecosystem services provided by wetlands, including groundwater recharge, nutrient cycling, water and wastewater treatment, and their cultural, recreational, and tourism values. Authored by experts in the field, the chapters follow a clear structure, with step-by-step advanced monitoring techniques to address wetlands' significant role in climate change mitigation and adaptation. Taking into account the contribution of wetlands towards achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the book explores innovative biodiversity assessment techniques, the impact of environmental stressors, and the critical roles of flora, fauna, and migratory birds in maintaining wetland ecological health. With case studies illustrating practical applications, this is an indispensable resource for students of environmental science, conservationists, and researchers, offering actionable insights and recommendations for safeguarding these critical ecosystems.

Contents

Part I: Wetlands: Biodiversity, Health and their Role in Ecosystem Services.
1. Wetlands and its types: An overview
2. Wetlands and biodiversity associated with these aquatic ecosystems (Flora and Fauna)
3. Wetlands and water quality with special focus on natural and constructed wetlands
4. Wetlands and associated Ecosystem services with special focus on Groundwater recharge, nutrient and biogeochemical cycles, Water and wastewater treatment; Cultural values; Recreation and tourism; Climate change mitigation and adaptation
5. Monitoring of wetlands with integrated remote sensing and GIS applications
6. Wetlands and their role in achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Part II: Wetlands: Biodiversity, Health (Water and Soil) and Bioremediation measures for the restoration and rejuvenation of wetlands
7. Conventional and advanced biodiversity assessment techniques with special emphasis on Environmental DNA (e-DNA)
8. Faunal diversity and their role in wetland ecological health and dynamics
9. Floral diversity and their role in wetland ecological health and dynamics
10. Habitat characterization with key emphasis on the environmental stressors and environmental variables
11. Migratory birds and their role in wetlands dynamics with special focus on the Indian wetlands/RAMSAR sites
12. Impact of water and soil pollution on the wetland ecological health and dynamics
13. Nature based solutions or bio remediating/phytoremediation agents for the restoration and rejuvenation of wetlands. (This chapter can be divided in to three chapters depends on the response from the global fraternity during chapters' submissions)
14. Advanced materials (nanotechnological interventions) and cutting age technologies for the restoration and rejuvenation of wetlands

Part III: Case Studies Part IV: Ecosystem services, international agencies and policies related to wetlands
15. Functional role of community structure in ecosystem services i.e. biogeochemical cycles, nutrient cycles, degradation pathways, climate change, bioremediation
16. Constructed wetland as sustainable alternative for conventional wastewater treatment technologies
17. Wetlands carbon dynamics, GHGs emissions and their contribution to global carbon budget
18. Economical valuation (tourist carrying capacity (TCC), nature-based livelihoods and their role in wetland ecosystem
19. International Agencies (RAMSAR, CBD) and global wetlands conservation and management policies
20. Recommendations and Future Framework for the conservation and management of Wetlands considering factors such as Biodiversity, Water and Soil Health, Ecosystem services, Environmental stressors such as anthropogenic activities
