WETLANDS AND CLIMATE
CHANGE

WETLANDS
 Areas saturated by surface or ground water at a
frequency and duration sufficient to support a
prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for
survival in saturated soil conditions.
 Three landscape types:
 Mountainous
 Man-made
 Coastal
 Forms includes:
 Swamps
 Bogs
 Marshes
ECOSERVICE
Provision
 Food
 Freshwater
 Fuel
Regulation
• Erosion control
• Climate regulation
• Water Purification and
waste treatment
Support
• Soil
Formation
• Nutrient
Cycling
Cultural
• Aesthetics
• Recreation
VULNERABILITY OF, AND TREND IN
WETLANDS
 Degradation and loss of this ecosystem and its species
is the most rapid
 Climate change will significantly increase drivers of
loss directly and indirectly
 Vulnerability of wetlands to climate change is
dependent on its position within hydrologic
landscapes
 Wetland vulnerability to climate change falls
between two extreme:
 Precipitation dependent = highly vulnerable
 Ground water flow systems discharge = least vulnerable
CLIMATE CHANGE AND WATER
CLIMATE CHANGE EFFECTS
 Hydrology via precipitation and temperature
 Fire
 Organic sediments oxidation
 Altered biogeochemistry
 Altered amounts and patterns of suspended
sediments loading
 Physical effects of wave energy
 Mudslide damage
 Increased flooding
MITIGATION
 Promote continuous vegetative cover
 Promote agricultural practices that achieve GHG
benefits
 Forest management for carbon sequestration and
biodiversity
 Forestry and agricultural land protection
ADAPTATION
 Sustainable water resource management
 Future hydraulic designs and structure
 Flood plain development
CONSERVATION, MANAGEMENT AND
RESTORATION
 Conservation
Four channels:
Easements
Land Purchase
Revolving Land
Monetary Funding
• Restoration
Growing activity, as it helps improve water
quality and wildlife habitat.
Complex process; requires expertise,
resources and commitment of stakeholders
LAST THOUGHTS
 Wetlands not only have the ability to help humans
mitigate impacts of climate change through carbon
sequestration but also to adapt to extreme weather
events associated with climate change.
 ‘Natural or Green infrastructures are incorporating
wetlands and specific wetland functions to trade or
add to the capacity of outdated crumbling
infrastructure systems. E.g. Water treatment plant,
dams.

Editor's Notes

  1. Presence of water is a distinct feature of wetlands thus it is important to examine climate change effects on the resource
