They are intrinsically beautiful environments where one may see the natural and essential values in the interaction of water, soil, vegetation, wildlife, and humans.? Wetlands occur at the confluence of unique terrestrial, hydrological and climatic conditions that give rise to some of the most biodiverse regions of the world.? They also play vital roles in the cycling and storage o 606 $aWetlands 606 $aWetland ecology 615 0$aWetlands. 615 0$aWetland ecology. 676 $a551.417 676 $a577.68 700 $aAber$b James S$01761002 701 $aPavri$b Firooza$01761003 701 $aAber$b Susan Ward$01761004 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910876878803321 996 $aWetland environments$94200171 997 $aUNINA
