WETLANDS: AN OVERVIEW OF THE ISSUES. CPL BIBLIOGRAPHY

There are two basic types of wetlands. Tidal wetlands are largely comprised of coastal marshes, mudflats, and mangrove swamps, and are subjected to periodic flooding by ocean-driven tides. Nontidal wetlands occur farther inland, and include freshwater marshes and ponds, shrub swamps, bottomland hardwood forests, wooded swamps, and bogs. Historically, the emphasis has been on protecting tidal wetlands. But in recent years, understanding of the importance of the functions performed by nontidal wetlands has grown, and they too have come under strict regulatory control at all levels of government. It is the nontidal wetlands that are emphasized in this bibliography. With few exceptions this bibliography cites publications from the 1980s and 1990s and focuses on the United States. The bibliography has been divided into two sections: journal articles which have not been annotated and monographs, some of which have been annotated.
