Description
Summary:Wetlands and peatlands are integral parts of many of the world’s biomes, forming important transition zones between upland and aquatic systems. These habitats have a high degree of complexity of hydrology, edaphic conditions, and vegetation composition, contributing to the biodiversity of landscapes and species richness. They act to influence and
