Wetlands in a Climate-Changing World aims to clarify our understanding of natural wetland structures, processes, and functions in the context of a changing climate, drawing on real-life case studies to help the reader comprehend current knowledge related to wetland research under the background of climate change. Unlike other terrestrial ecosystems, wetlands are more directly connected to, and influenced by, climate change. They help mitigate global warming by serving as CO 2 sinks and organic carbon reservoirs, but they also contribute to warming by emitting CH 4 . As wetlands are vital ecosystems worldwide, possessing unique and irreplaceable natural resources and ecological functions, this book is a great addition to research on presented topics.
