Review and assessment of methane emissions from wetlands
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed progress on estimating and understanding both the magnitude of, and controls on, emissions of CH4 from natural wetlands and calculated global wetland CH4 emissions using this extensive flux data base and the wetland areas compiled and published by Matthews and Fung (1987).
A Hydrogeomorphic Classification for Wetlands
TL;DR: In this article, a classification of wetlands based on the hydrogeomorphic functions of wetlands is presented, and three basic properties are used to provide insight into wetland functions: 1 Geomorphic setting-The three categories are depressional, riverine, and fringe.

Wildland fire in ecosystems: effects of fire on soils and water
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of fire on soil and water are reviewed, and a state-of-the-art review about the physical, chemical, and biological effects needed to successfully conduct ecosystem management is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patterns in nutrient availability and plant diversity of temperate north american wetlands
TL;DR: An extensive literature survey and analysis of data on plant species composition, species richness, productivity or standing crop, and C:N:P stoichiometry in plant tissues and surface soils is used to draw conclusions about the nature of nutrient limitation in temperate North American bogs, fens, marshes, and swamps.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptive significance of evergreen vs. deciduous leaves : solving the triple paradox
TL;DR: A generalized optimality model is outlined to account for evergreen dominance and other patterns in leaf longevity and phenology, based on maximizing whole-plant carbon gain or height growth, and building on recent advances in the understanding of the quantitative relationships of leaf photosynthesis, nitrogen content, and mass per unit area to leaf life-span.

Landscape Evolution, Peatland Types, and the Environment in the Lake Agassiz Peatlands Natural Area, Minnesota
TL;DR: The vegetation and peatland types of the Lake Agassiz Peatlands Natural Area are related to topography, waterflow patterns, water chemistry, and the evolution of the landscape as recorded by peat stratigraphy.
