Extractions: In December 2001, BSU received a generous donation from the Katherine Neilson-Cram Foundation to create the George W. Nielson Endowed Chair of Wetlands Ecology within the Department of Biology. Dr. Richard Koch was hired in August 2002 to fulfill the goals of this endowment. Dr. Koch is cooperating with faculty and students in Aquatic Biology, Biology, and Environmental Sciences at BSU and with outside natural resource agencies to establish BSU as an internationally recognized institute for wetlands education, research, and management. The Bemidji area is ideal for studying wetlands, since it has a large diversity of local wetland ecosystems, including bogs, fens, marshes, swamps, prairie potholes, lakes and rivers. BSU offers a unique opportunity for training experts in wetland ecology, delineation, management, and preservation. Through the George W. Nielson Endowed Chair, BSU is moving to the forefront in filling the demand for highly skilled wetland professionals needed by natural resource agencies.

Wetland Ecology and Land Use Implications Course Topics wetlands ecology Wetland definitions and classifications; Wetland ecosystem structure
http://www.engr.washington.edu/epp/cee/wep.html

Extractions: Wetlands serve as the transition between fully terrestrial and aquatic systems, offering broad ecological benefits. Because of past land use patterns and the location of wetlands in the landscape, they are often subject to degradation and loss of function during common land alteration activities. Altering the physical, chemical and biological conditions in wetlands and their contributing areas can influence the functions that the "protected" wetland can provide in the future. This course will familiarize you with the major wetland types found in the lowland coastal Pacific Northwest, it will thoroughly explore what parameters determine how a wetland functions, and it will identify some of the key project design parameters needed to minimize and/or avoid adverse effects. The course covers the key concepts of wetland ecology, relating hydrology source and wetland structure to water quality and quantity, wildlife habitat and recharge. The course then focuses on the potential problems of urban wetlands and their protection, based on the Best Available Science findings. You will learn about the implications of landscape setting, the effects of changes in hydrologic conditions and how they might affect plant and animal communities. The course concludes with an emphasis on effective land use and engineering strategies for protecting urban wetlands.

Extractions: Harp Wetland Ecology Because of HARP's proximity to the Haw River, we take particular interest in teaching about wetland ecology. The vast number of organisms dependent on the wetland environment are often overlooked and seldom understood. Students at HARP participate in a number of activities to further their appreciation of how the wetland ecosystem effects us all. Students involved in this course will explore the wetland habitat, learn, in detail, about the hydrologic cycle, observe, collect, and identify some wetland species, and participate in a group discussion and review of the wetland ecosystem and its inhabitants.

Extractions: kreeger@acnatsci.org The Wetlands Ecology Group in the Patrick Center primarily studies functional relationships among keystone biota in aquatic ecosystems. Our research seeks to clarify the fundamental trophic linkages between primary producers and consumers, and assesses the role of these trophic interactions in the regulation of energy and biogeochemical nutrient cycles. Of special interest are the effects of anthropogenic activity on these functional relationships. Our work is question-driven, seeking to establish common ecological patterns in a broad range of aquatic habitats, from mountain lakes and streams, to large rivers, estuaries, and their fringing wetlands. Dr. Danielle Kreeger, Assistant Curator, leads the group. Danielle is trained as a physiological ecologist who has conducted

American Wetlands Campaign Kit - Wetlands Ecology Functions And Values
American Wetlands Campaign Kit wetlands ecology Functions and Values. Wetlands have both terrestrial and aquatic characteristics.
http://www.iwla.org/sos/awm/kit_ecol.html

Extractions: Wetlands Ecology Functions and Values Wetlands have both terrestrial and aquatic characteristics. Swamps, marshes and bogs are types of wetlands commonly found in the United States. Some wetlands are constantly wet, and some are wet only during certain times of the year. There are many different definitions of wetlands, some scientific and some legal, which affect wetland regulations and wetland protection. Most definitions include three main characteristics of wetlands: 1) presence of surface water or water in the root zone; 2) hydric soils (soils formed under waterlogged conditions); and 3) vegetation that has adapted to living in wet conditions (hydrophytes). Countless variations of these characteristics often make it difficult to determine whether or not a particular area is a wetland. Why are Wetlands Important? Wildlife Habitat Wetlands provide shelter, food, and spawning and nesting sites for many species of birds, fish, mammals, reptiles and invertebrates. Although wetlands make up only about 5 percent of land in the United States, they support about 190 amphibian species and one-third of all bird species in the country. Almost 43 percent of the federally listed threatened and endangered animal species are in some way dependent on wetlands for survival. Floodwater Storage Depending on the areas topography and location in the watershed, wetlands can act as water storage areas. Wetlands located along a river are especially valued for their capacity to retain flood water. In 1972, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers determined that loss of wetlands along the Charles River near Boston would have caused $17 million in annual flood damage. A wetland also can act as a recharge site for ground water. This depends upon the season and amount of precipitation, as well as the wetlands type, location, soils and relationship to the water table.

http://biology.ucf.edu/~djenkins/research.htm

Extractions: Research Home People Research Publications ... UCF Biology Historically, aquatic ecology has focused on communities below the waterline. This natural focus led to an emphasis on local biotic and abiotic processes that regulate communities. In recent years, ecologists have turned to regional processes that might also affect local communities: for example - how important is inter-site migration to overall survival and genetic diversity? These ideas are also applicable to aquatic organisms, but in ways that are not (yet) clear, largely because we don't know much about organismal movement between isolated waters ( Click here to read an abstract of a recent paper in Ecology Letters on this topic). We work on these topics with small aquatic invertebrates (zooplankton, meiofauna) and other microscopic organisms (protozoans, bacteria): they're numerous, small, and easy to find, and historically thought to be widely dispersed, even though they must disperse passively. Much of the work my students and I have conducted has focused on communities in ephemeral wetlands. Ephemeral wetlands were once very numerous across the U.S.
