Wetlands and Water Quality. A Regional Review of Recent Research in the United States on the Role of Freshwater and Saltwater Wetlands as Sources, Sinks, and Transformers of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Various Heavy Metals.
The coterminous United States and Alaska were divided into seven geographic regions representing groups of Corps of Engineers Districts. Within each geographic region, the quality and quantity of literature were examined by wetland type and function within wetland type. The specific water quality fu...
