- W107143604 abstract "Wetlands are estimated to cover 860 million hectares or 6% of the land surface of the world (Maltby and Turner, 1983; see Fig. 1). They have been described as the kidneys of the landscape for the biogeochemical and hydrologic roles that they provide (Mitsch and Gosselink, 1986). They prevent floods, cleanse waters, protect shorelines, and recharge groundwater aquifers. Just as important to some, wetlands provide haven for a wide variety of flora and fauna and offer a unique habitat for many rare and endangered species. But like the species that they harbor, wetlands themselves have been considered by some to be on the endangered list in the United States. While the extent of wetlands in presettlement United States is difficult to determine, our wetlands in the coterminous United States are estimated to have decreased, from approximately 60 to 75 million hectares to about 42 million hectares today (OTA, 1984; Mitsch and Gosselink, 1986). In midwestern states such as Ohio and Illinois, over 90% of the wetlands were drained, partially in response to The Swamp Lands Acts of 1849, 1950, and 1860. The riparian and coastal wetlands of the midwestern United States, which once were connected to all the streams, rivers, and Great Lakes of the glaciated Midwest are, for all intents and purposes, gone from the landscape. With their loss, our rivers and streams have lost their ability to cleanse themselves and the Great Lakes are no longer buffered from upland regions." @default.
