Abstract
Ecohydrology emphasizes the interactions between ecological and hydrological patterns and processes in wetlands. Given that wetlands are fundamentally defined by prolonged saturation or flooding of land, an ecohydrological perspective is implicit in wetland ecology. In this review, we provide examples of how variation in hydrologic processes in space and time influences wetland ecosystems in temperate riparian zones, inland temperate wetlands, and subtropical monsoonal wetlands. Because wetland ecosystems are highly impacted by anthropogenic change, an understanding of ecohydrological processes in wetlands will be critical for future conservation and restoration of wetlands in a changing world.
