Wetland
Indicators: A Guide to Wetland Identification,
Delineation, Classification, and Mapping
The current state of science's role in wetland
recognition and mapping is addressed. It's a useful
tool in understanding the current concept of
wetlands and methods for identifying, describing,
classifying, and delineating wetlands in the United
States. The book's discussion of wetland indicators
focuses on plants, soils and other signs of wetland
hydrology in the soil or on the surface of wetlands.

Sediment
in Streams: Sources, Biological Effects, and Control
An applied fisheries viewpoint with a perspective
of biotic integrity shows how stream communities are
damaged by anthropogenic sediment - the most serious
pollutant of streams today. The human sources and
biological effects of suspended and deposited
sediment are thoroughly reviewed, as well as the
methods of controlling sedimentation by preventing
or detaining erosion and the means of removing
excess sediment from streams when control is
unsuccessful. Paperback, 251 pages. T.F. Waters,
American Fisheries Society, 1995.

using practical applications, and combined to yield
landscape ecological data, and ecological risk
assessments. Using numerous technical methods,
Wetland Landscape Characterization shows you how to
evaluate the presence of wetlands, and the
stressors, exposures and ecological systems -
streams, lakes, terrestrial - that influence their
condition. Hardcover, 224 pages. John G. Lyon, Ann
