Wetlands in Central Europe Soil Organisms, Soil Ecological Processes and Trace Gas Emissions

Wetlands are very sensitive ecosystems, functioning as a habitat for many organisms. Protection and regeneration of wetlands are of great importance in ecological research and in nature conservation. A huge amount of research has been done on the hydrology, plants and animals in wetlands. Knowledge...
