✦ Synopsis
Abstract
Wetlands form 14% of the Canadian landscape and, consequently, have considerable interaction with the hydrological resources, including water quantity and quality, both within and downstream of them. Most of these are peatlands, particularly in boreal and northern environments, and these have been well researched recently. New data also exist for mineral wetlands (e.g. prairie sloughs). Relatively little attention has been given to coastal wetlands, or the complicated systems in the Western Cordillera. This paper reviews the current studies in Canada.
