Abstract

Wetland ecosystems account for about 6 per cent of the global land area and are among the most threatened of all environmental resources. The wetlands found in temperate climate zones in developed economies have long suffered significant losses and continue to face threats from industrial, agricultural and residential developments, as well as from hydrological perturbation, pollution and pollution-related effects (Turner, 1991).
