However, services are seldom directly evaluated because of the lack of structured assessment approaches. For wetland ecosystem service to be effectively incorporated in regulatory and monitoring programs, there needs to be parsimonious assessment tools that can be applied systematically, repeatably, and rapidly. This approach begins by disentangling existing terminology and clearly defining all the terms necessary to support the assessment of ecosystem services (ES). We provide context to illustrate how these terms have been variously employed in wetland science and policy, and follow with a conceptual framework for a rapid wetland ES assessment tool that is implemented as a module to existing rapid wetland function or condition assessment tools. We employ a service capacity index (SCI) that builds on existing concepts of functional capacity indices (FCIs) by incorporating the opportunity for beneficiaries to avail themselves of the source and sink ecological products provided by wetlands. We argue that if the goal of assessment is to meet compensatory mitigation requirements of unavoidable loss of wetland service, an SCI is an appropriate complement to an FCI. We illustrate the application of the proposed approach using Montana floodplain wetlands as an example.","PeriodicalId":23640,"journal":{"name":"Wetlands","volume":"46 3","pages":"25"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12960418/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147378649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We utilized data from the United States Environmental Protection Agency's National Wetland Condition Assessment to estimate anthropogenic metal (Pb, Cu, Cr) storage in the upper 40 cm of wetland soils across the conterminous United States-never done before at this scale. Large amounts of anthropogenic Cu and Cr are stored in wetland soil across the conterminous United States, at 299.5 ± 73.2 (95% confidence interval) and 483.4 ± 132.1 thousand metric tons (MT), respectively. Anthropogenic Pb totaled 394.3 ± 265.2 thousand MT, which, for context, is roughly equivalent to 7% of lead-based gasoline additives used in the U.S. between 1927-1994. Between 15-22% of Cu, Cr, and Pb mass stored within the upper 40 cm of wetland soils across the conterminous United States is estimated to be anthropogenic. We also estimated wetland anthropogenic metal loading to normalize mass by area and compared across different wetland types and features. In most cases, estimated wetland redox state, tidal influence, wetland hydrologic regime, and geographical regions do not substantially impact estimates of anthropogenic metal loading. It is clear, though, that wetlands often contain substantive anthropogenic metals and that monitoring of hydrologic and/or geochemical changes in wetlands is important to discern whether any metals may mobilize and pose a hazard to ecosystems or human health.","PeriodicalId":23640,"journal":{"name":"Wetlands","volume":"45 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12208503/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144545037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Prairie Pothole Region is prominent agricultural area that extends through Canada and the United States, and features a significant number of wetlands commonly referred to as prairie potholes. The contribution of these wetlands to landscape-level soil organic carbon storage is complex and may not be consistent across the region as influenced by several environmental and management factors. This study reviews existing literature to identify the main factors that contribute to variability in soil organic carbon stocks in prairie pothole wetlands. Soil organic carbon stock data from 10 studies in the Prairie Pothole Region were summarized through a meta-analysis. Variable importance and regression analyses were used to assess which factors explain variability in soil organic carbon. Wetland class explained up to 26.6% of the variability in soil organic carbon. Other important factors included ecoregion as well as land management. There were significant differences in average wetland soil organic carbon stocks across the ecoregions. Data limitations restricted our ability to accurately estimate the stocks for wetland class and land management. The findings from this study highlighted the need for targeted studies in the Northern short grassland ecoregion as well as studies that consider wetland classes under various land uses. To advance wetland carbon research in the Prairie Pothole Region, recommendations were provided on landscape-level carbon modelling, soil carbon measurement and monitoring, and improved wetland classification systems.Graphical abstract: Supplementary information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s13157-025-01898-9.","PeriodicalId":23640,"journal":{"name":"Wetlands","volume":"45 1","pages":"18"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11782295/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143081272","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition to their water quality benefits, these systems may also offset losses of migratory waterbird stopover sites resulting from historical and future agricultural drainage modernization. To assess this possibility, we developed spatially explicit habitat models informed with expert opinion to explore the: 1) potential of water quality wetlands to provide suitable stopover resources for waterbirds during spring migration; and 2) the extent these wetlands can offset likely losses of stopover resources due to drainage modernization. We focused our modeling on the Iowa portion of the Prairie Pothole Region of North America as it was a historically important area within this vital region for waterbirds, but it has experienced widespread subsurface drainage. Model results indicate that unmitigated drainage modernization is likely to have a large negative effect on spring migratory resources for dabbling ducks and shorebirds and minimal effect on diving ducks. Water quality wetland installations are likely to provide habitat for dabbling and diving ducks, but wetland installation is unlikely to completely offset habitat losses for dabbling ducks and shorebirds. Drainage modernization aside, our results indicate that water quality wetlands can address several environmental issues associated with agricultural expansion and intensification by improving water quality and providing wetland resources for waterbirds and other organisms.

Although passive recolonization is occasionally sufficient, often, active revegetation through seeding is required. However, the outcomes of seeding likely differ by site (due to varying environmental conditions) and the composition of the seed mix. We evaluated the effects of both passive recolonization and seeding treatments (varying density and diversity of natives) on wetland plant community cover and composition at two sites in the Great Salt Lake Watershed, USA, over two years. We found that passive recolonization was insufficient to increase native plant cover at one location and limit invasive species' cover at either location. Furthermore, different emergent wetland restoration sites, despite geographic proximity, had different plant community outcomes, likely due to distinct site environmental conditions. We also found that the effects of the seeding treatments appeared to be overwhelmed by water depth due to two extreme weather events (severe drought in year 1 and prolonged flooding in year 2). However, these events provided an opportunity to observe the recovery potential of the different functional groups and identify three species of restoration interest (Bolboschoenus maritimus, Schoenoplectus acutus, and Distichlis spicata) that were able to survive the extreme conditions during both growing seasons at one site. These findings underscore the importance of not relying on passive recolonization and instead using bet-hedging strategies (e.g., seeding diverse mixes with species with a range of hydrologic tolerances) to overcome hydrologic extremes, conditions likely to become more common with climate change and ever-increasing upstream water diversions.Supplementary information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s13157-025-01935-7.","PeriodicalId":23640,"journal":{"name":"Wetlands","volume":"45 5","pages":"52"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12098206/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144143741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wetlands have been considered effective NCS given their capacity to sequester and retain atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) while also providing a myriad of other ecosystem functions that can assist in mitigating the impacts of climate change. However, wetlands have a dual impact on climate, influencing the atmospheric concentrations of both CO2 and methane (CH4). The cooling effect associated with wetland CO2 sequestration can be counterbalanced by the warming effect caused by CH4 emissions from wetlands. The relative ability of wetlands to sequester CO2 versus emit CH4 is dependent on a suite of interacting physical, chemical, and biological factors, making it difficult to determine if/which wetlands are considered important NCS. The fact that wetlands are embedded in landscapes with surface and subsurface hydrological connections to other wetlands (i.e., wetlandscapes) that flow over and through geochemically active soils and sediments adds a new layer of complexity and poses further challenges to understanding wetland carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas fluxes at large spatial scales. Our review demonstrates how additional scientific advances are required to understand the driving mechanisms associated with wetland carbon cycling under different environmental conditions.

Historical and ongoing land uses have resulted in regional loss and degradation of these ecosystems. Effective conservation and management of peatland biodiversity and other ecological values requires an understanding of a peatland's landscape setting, hydrological processes, water chemistry, biotic patterns, and response to human stressors. This research identified the climate, watershed size, hydrologic regime, and land use characteristics influencing these peatlands. Shallow groundwater, vertical and lateral water movement, pore water chemistry, and vegetation composition were measured in two locations within each of the 17 study sites: the peatland center and lagg. Study sites had some ecological characteristics similar to ombrotrophic bogs in the Northern Hemisphere, but many sites lacked strong hydrological evidence of being solely rain-fed. Climate, watershed size, and adjacent land use were correlated with hydrological, chemical, and vegetation variability across study sites. Land use correlations with ecological changes were most prominent in laggs but some effects were observed in peatland centers. Preventing anthropogenically derived surface or groundwater inputs from entering the peatland basin is essential for protecting peatland biodiversity and ecological functions. This can be accomplished by establishing natural vegetated buffers around contributing water features, removing stormwater inputs, and maintaining peatland watersheds with as much natural land cover as possible.Supplementary information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s13157-025-01927-7.","PeriodicalId":23640,"journal":{"name":"Wetlands","volume":"45 5","pages":"49"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12045819/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144001421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
