Development of multimetric indices of biotic integrity for riverine and palustrine wetland plant communities along southern Lake

by Thomas P Simon , Paul M Stewart , Paul E Rothrock , 2001
"... Abstract Riverine and palustrine wetland plant communities were examined in order to propose a multimetric plant index of biotic integrity. The objectives were to determine the structural and functional attributes of these wetland plant communities, calibrate reference conditions in assessing aquat ..."

Modi®cation of an index of biotic integrity for assessing vernal ponds and small palustrine wetlands using ®sh, cray®sh, and amphibian assemblages along southern Lake Michigan

by T P Simon , R Jankowski , C Morris
"... Abstract We developed an index of biotic integrity (IBI) based on cray®sh, ®sh, and amphibian assemblages to assess vernal ponds and palustrine wetland habitats of less than 5 ha along the southern shore of Lake Michigan. We found that the modi®ed IBI based on three cray®sh, twelve ®sh, and seven a ..."

Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States

by Lewis M. Cowardin, Virginia Carter, Francis C. Golet, Wildlife Service - FWS/OBS79/31. USDI, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Office of Biological Service. 103 , 1979
"... This classification, to be used in a new inventory of wetlands and deepwater habitats of the United States, is intended to describe ecological taxa, arrange them in a system useful to resource managers, furnish units for mapping, and provide uniformity of concepts and terms. Wetlands are defined by ..."

Comparison of soil and other environmental conditions in constructed and adjacent palustrine reference wetlands. Wetlands

by Mark H Stolt , Michael H Genthner , W Lee Daniels , Velva A Groover , Steven Nagle , Katie C Haering , 2000
"... Abstract: Wetlands are created to compensate for the loss of natural wetlands as a result of human landuse activities. How well these constructed wetlands mimic natural wetlands is in debate. The goal of this study was to compare soil and other environmental conditions within constructed and adjace ..."

and adjacent reference wetlands to assess the progress of the constructed wetlands towards a functional wetland. Three constructed wetlands in Virginia, USA, 4 to 7 years old, were paired with adjacent palustrine forested and scrub-shrub reference wetlands to examine differences in topography, hydrology, soil

Biodiversity in Red Maple Forested Wetlands in the Northeast United States Department of Agriculture

by Forest Service, Roger Monthey, Forest Stewardship Coordinator , 2012
"... (Much of the following information was synthesized from several sources, especially the study by Golet and others (1993). All photos by Roger Monthey.) The biodiversity of red maple forested wetlands in the Northeast is very rich on a regional scale. Red maple forested wetlands are also commonly kno ..."

and others (1993) referred to as broad-leaved deciduous forested wetlands, are a component of the palustrine system of wetland classification. Palustrine wetlands include all inland wetlands dominated by persistent vegetation (i.e., trees, shrubs, and emergents) and all other inland wetlands not found

Proposed classification system for the South African National Wetland Inventory

by Ja Dini, Gi Cowan
"... South Africa has begun developing a wetland inventory program, coordinated on a national scale and employing a standardised methodology and classification system. In order to facilitate the mapping phase of the inventory and enhance the value of data gathered, a classification system for South Afric ..."

(pan or playa) ecosystems from other lacustrine and palustrine habitats. Palustrine wetlands have also been distinguished into four subsystems, based on position in the landscape. This should enhance the value of the classification for purposes of conservation and management. A field verification

Acoustic characteristics of a native anuran (Amphibia) assemblage in a palustrine herbaceous wetland from Puerto Rico 1

by Neftalí Ríos-López , Luis J Villanueva-Rivera
"... Abstract: We documented patterns of microhabitat use, relative species abundance, and acoustic characteristics of a Puerto Rican native anuran assemblage from a palustrine herbaceous wetland. We found significant interspecific differences in the spatial distribution of calling males among microhabi ..."

A new species of palustrine Eleutherodactylus (Anura: Leptodactylidae) from Puerto Rico. Zootaxa 1512:51–64

by Neftalí Rios-López , Richard Thomas , 2007
"... Abstract We describe adult morphology, advertisement call, and natural history diagnostic of a new species of Eleutherodactylus from a fresh water (palustrine) herbaceous wetland of northern coastal Puerto Rico. The new species is apparently the smallest Puerto Rican Eleutherodactylus and is morpho ..."

POND-BREEDING AMPHIBIAN SPECIES DISTRIBUTIONS

by Jesse Cunningham, In A Beaver-modified Landscape , 2003
"... In order to maintain pond-breeding amphibian species richness, it is important to understand how both natural and anthropogenic disturbances affect species assemblages and individual species distributions both at the scale of individual ponds and at a larger landscape scale. The goal of this project ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
in creating and maintaining palustrine wetlands. In 2000 and 200 1, I studied pond-breeding amphibian assemblages at 7 1 palustrine wetlands in Acadia National Park, Mount Desert Island, Maine. I determined breeding presence of 7 amphibian species and quantified 15 variables describing local pond conditions
