Handbook for Restoring Tidal Wetlands

Handbook for Restoring Tidal Wetlands provides a broad-based compilation of case studies and principles to guide the management of tidal restoration sites. With more than 170 figures and tables, the book covers the conceptual planning for coastal wetlands restoration; strategies for the manipulation of hydrology and soils; the reestablishment of vegetation and assemblages of fishes and invertebrates; and the process of assessing, monitoring, and sustaining restored wetlands. It combines examples from coastal research studies along the coast of southern California with information drawn from the literature on coastal restoration across the globe.
