FOURTH EDITION NOW AVAILABLE - Search ISBN: 1478194693 or see Author page (above) to Look Inside or to order. The Fourth Edition incorporates the revised Wetland Indicator Status classification of the National Wetland Plant List (June 2012); this replaces earlier lists developed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and is the new standard to be used in wetland delineation studies. A Great Lakes Wetland Flora (Third Edition) is the only comprehensive field guide to the vascular plants found in the wetlands of the Upper Midwest-the plants of bogs, fens, swamps, marshes, wet meadows, and low prairie-plus the aquatic plants of lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams. The Third Edition has been updated to incorporate conservation status changes and includes many new illustrations.The Flora's thoroughness, ease-of-use, and detailed drawings have made it a favorite reference with botanists, natural resource managers, environmental consultants, students, educators, or anyone simply wanting to learn more about these fascinating habitats. Contents* Complete coverage of aquatic and wetland plants of the Upper Midwest-Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, northern Illinois, and northern Indiana-with general applicability to surrounding areas (including the Dakotas, Iowa, Ohio and western Ontario).* Over 900 plant species in 114 plant families; each species described (including habitat and range information) and illustrated. * Descriptions of the major wetland types of the Great Lakes region.* Identification of plants of conservation concern in the region (state or federally endangered or threatened). Also included are U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service wetland status indicators. * Alphabetically arranged by plant family within four major plant groups-Ferns and Fern Allies, Conifers, Dicots, and Monocots-for quickly finding and identifying plants.* Easy-to-use keys to each plant family, genus, and species.
Great Lakes Coastal Wetlands-- by Maggie Young,Canada. Environment Canada Pdf
This fact sheet has been prepared to convey the importance of coastal wetlands in maintaining the hydrological & ecological health of the Great Lakes, and to encourage wider acceptance of wetland values. It contains basic information on wetland functions & values, the types of wetlands and why the occur where they do, fluctuations in Great Lakes water levels & their effect on wetlands, wetland flora & wildlife, environmental stresses affecting wetlands, initiatives to conserve Great Lakes wetlands, and wetland rehabilitation.
This book represents the proceedings of the firstGreat Lakes Costal Wetlands Colloquium (November 5-7, 1984; East Lansing, Michigan). The theme wasNatural and Manipulated Water Levels in Great Lakes Wetlands. This material constitutes both Great Lakes wetlands and the state of understanding about them. It is intended to provide fisheries and wildlife biologists, ecologists, aquatic resource managers and planners and environmental scientists information about the coastal wetlands in regard to eight priority areas. The colloquium and publication of the proceedings were cosponsored by Sea Grant Program and Environment Canada.

A Great Lakes Wetland Flora (Fourth Edition) is a comprehensive field guide to the vascular plants found in the wetlands of the Upper Midwest - the plants of bogs, fens, swamps, marshes, wet meadows, and low prairie - plus the aquatic plants of lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams. [Author's note: please see the new 2019 edition: Wetland Plants of the Upper Midwest, ISBN: 9781797053240.] The Fourth Edition features many new illustrations and incorporates the June 2012 Wetland Indicator Status classification of the National Wetland Plant List; this replaces earlier lists developed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and is the standard for use in wetland delineation studies. Definitions for the indicators have been revised, and are based on regions, 4 of which are present in the Great Lakes area: Midwest, Northcentral and Northeast, Eastern Mountains and Piedmont, and Great Plains. The Flora's thoroughness and ease-of-use have made it a favorite reference with botanists, natural resource managers, environmental consultants, students and educators. Contents- Complete coverage of aquatic and wetland plants of the Upper Midwest - Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. - Over 900 plant species in 114 plant families; each species described (including habitat and range information) and illustrated. - Descriptions of major wetland types of the Great Lakes region.- Identification of plants of conservation concern in each state (endangered, threatened, special concern). - Alphabetically arranged by plant family within four major plant groups - Ferns and Fern Allies, Conifers, Dicots, and Monocots - for quickly finding and identifying plants. - Easy-to-use keys to each plant family, genus, and species.
Nearshore Waters of the Great Lakes by Thomas A. Edsall Pdf
"In October 1994, the governments of the United States and Canada convened the first State of the Lakes Ecosystem Conference (SOLEC '94). The conference was designed to further the purpose of the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement between the United States and Canada, which aims to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the waters of the Great Lakes basin ecosystem. Background papers prepared for the conference and discussions that occurred at SOLEC '94 are summarized in a document prepared by the U.S. and Canadian governments titled "State of the Great Lakes 1995" (EC and EPA 1995). A second, follow-up conference (SOLEC '96) scheduled for fall 1996 is designed to focus more intensively on the status of the Great Lakes coastal ecosystem, which includes the coastal shorelands, coastal wetlands, and coastal or nearshore waters. A major objective of SOLEC '96 is to examine the effects of human activity--and particularly land use practices--on the coastal ecosystem. The present paper is designed to provide background information that will facilitate discussion of the status of the nearshore waters element of Great Lakes coastal ecosystems"--Introd., p. 5.
