Preserving the Blue Carbon: The Role of Coastal Wetlands in Sustainable Development.  aThis book discusses state-of-the-art techniques for ecosystem service valuation of forests, rivers, wetlands, lakes and coastal ecosystems, for their sustainable development and management. An ecosystem service valuation can be used to address environmental degradation of natural resources. Numerous natural and man-made factors like climate change, pollution, encroachment, and over-exploitation, have put ecosystems under threat worldwide. These ecosystems provide a lot of services to human beings but many of these services are not taken into account in the market prices for products and services, and their ecological functions are not economically valued. The valuation of these ecosystems' services will help to shed light on their sustainable management. This book offers a fresh and innovative resource that captures the latest advancements, addresses emerging challenges, and propels the field forward, making it a must-have for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers. This book is also useful for stakeholders to achieve United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals 6 (Sustainability of water resources) and 13 (Climate action). The most relevant target audiences are hydrologists, hydrogeologists, environmental scientists, ecologists, biologists, and academicians. This book can be useful to post-graduate students, researchers, academicians, policy makers, NGOs in these fields. It also appeals to professionals in the fields of urban planning, agriculture, forestry, water resources management and environmental policy. 0aWater.965998 0aHydrology.965999 0aClimatology.962309 0aBiotic communities.968627 0aEnvironment.96589314aWater.96599824aClimate Sciences.96775524aEcosystems.96863224aEnvironmental Sciences.9611551 aJoseph, Sabu.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt9840961 aPradeepkumar, A.P.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt9840972 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978981974687308iPrinted edition:z978981974689708iPrinted edition:z978981974690340uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-97-4688-0  aZDB-2-EES  aZDB-2-SXEE  c63281d63281
