This introduction to freshwater wetlands describes those abiotic features of wetlands that make them unique as a habitat and examines in detail the adaptations, distributions, and interactions of various organisms (microbes, invertebrates, plants, and vertebrates) that collectively form wetland ecosystems. All kinds of freshwater wetlands are covered including lacustrine, palustrine, riverine and tidal forms. The management, conservation and restoration of wetlands are also covered. This is an accessible text suitable for both undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in wetland ecology as well as professional researchers in the fields of limnology and freshwater ecology requiring a concise overview of the topic.本《淡水湿地导论》描述了湿地的非生物特征，使其成为独特的栖息地，并详细研究了共同构成湿地生态系统的各种生物（微生物、无脊椎动物、植物和脊椎动物）的适应、分布和相互作用。覆盖了各种淡水湿地，包括湖泊湿地、沼泽湿地、河流湿地和潮汐湿地。还包括湿地的管理、保护和恢复。这是一个易于阅读的文本，适用于修读湿地生态学课程的本科生和研究生以及湖沼学和淡水生态学领域的专业研究人员，需要对该主题进行简要概述。
