Ecology of tidal freshwater forested wetlands of the Southeastern United States [electronic resource] / edited by William H. Conner, Thomas W. Doyle and Ken W. Krauss.

Tidal freshwater swamps are unique wetland systems occupying low relief coastal areas subjected to both upland run-off and tidal flooding. These systems are especially vulnerable to pressure from human development and to climate change impacts of sea-level rise and increased drought/flood frequency....
