Reviews

"… represents the new generation of books that comprehensively describe the principles and advances in the field of wetland science … . I strongly recommend this book … chocked full of well-designed and well-thought out figures. … the authors, with nearly a century of research experience between them, are among the giants in the field of wetland biogeochemistry … . You will enjoy using and referencing this book … I know I will." – Christopher Craft, School of Public and Environmental Affairs, Indiana University in Soil Science Society of America Journal, Vol. 73, No. 2, 2009
