Wetland Habitats: A Practical Guide to Restoration and Management Nick Romanowski CSIRO Publishing 2010 Here is a practical and easy to use manual for wetland restoration and conservation of diverse animal species. Covering all the recent work in this field, among other significant issues it discusses making the most of dams and created wetlands; reversing the effects of drainage, grazing, weirs, deteriorating water quality, and associated algal problems; captive breeding and reintroduction; and controlling weeds and vermin. The book is divided into four sections: Habitats, Invaders, Repair, Plants and Animals.
