The document discusses trends in wetland loss and implications for management. Over 5,137 acres of wetlands have been lost due to drying of the landscape. An additional 8,375 acres, or 52% of wetlands, have lost hydroperiods classified as temporarily flooded or saturated. This drying is causing organic soils to decompose, invasive species to spread, and upland species to colonize wetland areas. The loss of hydrology and wetland functions implies a probable permanent loss of 52% of wetland stock and potential removal from 60-80% of the county due to land subsidence and hydrophobic soils. Managers can expect more delineation challenges and fewer areas meeting jurisdictional wetland definitions going forward.
