Dachnowski and George B. Rigg were the foremost peatland scientists in the United States during the first half of the 20th century. Although trained as a botanist, Alfred Dachnowski (1875–1949) became an expert on peat soils, including their development, classification, and chemical characteristics. His early research focused on “bog toxins” and how they affected plant growth. After being forced to resign from Ohio State University, he worked for the U.S. Department of Agriculture for the remainder of his professional career. Dachnowski developed several peat soil classifications and published the first comprehensive account of peat deposits in the United States. George B. Rigg (1872-1961), who also was trained as a botanist, spent his entire professional career at the University of Washington. He became an authority on the ecology, development, and distribution of Sphagnum peat bogs and published two major monographs. Early in his career, he also wrote a review on the prevalent theory of “physiological drought” as the cause of the xeromorphic characteristics of some bog plants. However, most of his research focused on bog development (stratigraphy) and how the chemical and physical (air and soil temperature) environment affected the distribution of bog plants.","PeriodicalId":481187,"journal":{"name":"Wetland Science and Practice","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135811787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We overcame this barrier by using Public Land Survey System data and other ancillary historical data to map wetlands and deepwater habitats in the 1850s in the mainland portion of St. Lucie County, Florida. Using just the Public Land Survey System data, a first draft map indicated there was 754 km2 of wetlands and deepwater habitats covering 52% of the study area. After two iterations using other ancillary historical data, a third and final draft map indicated there was 1,222 km2 of wetlands and deepwater habitats covering 84% of the study area, and overall increase of 62%. These results show that PLSS data can be used to map wetlands and deepwater habitats prior to modern settlement, but the use of other ancillary historical data can make maps more accurate and trustworthy. The outcome is a first-of-its-kind map of wetlands and deepwater habitats in the mainland portion of St. Lucie County, which is now representing baseline conditions in ongoing projects seeking to both quantify and mitigate for widespread land use-land cover change.","PeriodicalId":481187,"journal":{"name":"Wetland Science and Practice","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135851070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The area comprises of approximately 400 ha of saltmarsh, tidal flats, and shallow sub-tidal channels. Our goal was to develop a landscape design strategy for the marsh that integrates research and design focused on improving habitat, creating recreational opportunities, and mitigating the long-term impacts of climate change. An evaluation of existing case studies on wetland development was developed as a matrix to guide the framework needed and learn how other projects address these issues. A thorough analysis of the site’s quantitative and qualitative data was done to facilitate the process through which the design strategy could take place, focusing on the marsh by extending programs from the surrounding social context, while at the same time enhancing its ecological value, and preparing for climate change. By developing such strategies that are in tune with the environment and sensitive to the natural systems, our proposal tries to establish design interventions to allow access and recreational opportunities while still enhancing the marsh landscape ecology. Through this project a method is developed to create an open space strategy that can support the diverse social interactions and ecological demands of such a wetland system.","PeriodicalId":481187,"journal":{"name":"Wetland Science and Practice","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135811784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This “type conversion” may be necessary and beneficial in the context of addressing watershed plans or regional restoration goals, or in achieving resiliency to climatic changes (Goals Project 2015). Conversion can also occur through other large-scale, complex actions (e.g., mitigation banking initiatives). Whether driven by habitat restoration goals or compensatory mitigation needs or both, regulatory oversight typically governs the process. Holistically assessing such conversion through the regulatory lens is challenging for permitting programs. To address this challenge, an interagency team of federal and state regulators and resource managers in California developed a structured and transparent approach for evaluating the appropriateness of aquatic resource type conversion. The resulting framework can support project planning and inform regulatory evaluation by helping to answer: 1) what loss or gain of function is expected from various aquatic resource type conversions, and 2) whether conversion might be ecologically (or functionally) appropriate. The intent is to support agencies’ technical and regulatory decisions by providing a standardized, transparent set of tools and approaches that can inform discussions between agencies and with project proponents during the project evaluation phase, with a goal of ensuring that projects are not only permittable, but environmentally beneficial.","PeriodicalId":481187,"journal":{"name":"Wetland Science and Practice","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135008608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pearsall (1891-1964) were two of England’s most influential antecedent wetland scientists. Arber was a plant anatomist specializing in monocotyledons, whose only major contribution to wetland science was her 1920 book, Water Plants. It was the first compendium of information on wetland plants in English and summarized the literature on their life histories, anatomies, ecologies, and evolution. It remained the standard reference on wetland plants for decades after its publication. William Pearsall began studying the ecology of wetland plants in the lakes of the English Lake District as a young man. This early research (1913-1920), which he did with the help of his school-teacher father, identified the environmental factors (substrate type, siltation rates, maximum light penetration, wave action, etc.) that determined the distribution of wetland plants and changes in the lake basins over time. In the late 1930s, Pearsall pioneered measuring electrical potential (redox) in soils to characterize their chemical status (oxidizing or reducing). He documented that soil electrical potentials became more negative as soils flooded and increased in organic matter. Pearsall also played a major role in the establishment (1929) and initial research program (Honorary Director, 1931-1937) of the Freshwater Biological Association, Britain’s first research organization dedicated to studying aquatic systems.","PeriodicalId":481187,"journal":{"name":"Wetland Science and Practice","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135798424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
