Are isolated wetlands isolated?
National Wetlands Newsletter
By: Loren M. Smith, Ned H. Euliss Jr., and David A. Haukos
While federal regulations during the past 10 years have treated isolated wetlands as unconnected to aquatic resources protected by the Clean Water Act, they provide critical ecosystem services to society that extend well beyond their wetland boundaries. The authors offer well-documented examples from the scientific literature on some of the ecosystem services provided by isolated wetlands to society and other ecosystems.
