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 CO₂ sinks and organic carbon reservoirs, but they also contribute to warming by emitting CH₄.

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.

Offers comprehensive understanding of wetlands and their roles under climate change
Contains real-life case studies with step-by-step instructions to help students and early-career researchers
Includes updated research on wetlands and sustainable management techniques
