Description

Wetlands cover approximately 21 per cent of the land area of the province of Alberta and are unique ecosystems that provide several valuable ecological economic functions including water storage and flood attenuation, erosion control, water quality improvement and habitat for various plant and animal species. Many wetlands in Alberta, especially in the southern half of the province, have been negatively impacted by anthropogenic disturbances which in turn affect the wetland health and function. The purpose of this report is to conduct a review of the primary literature on Alberta wetlands and identify potential indicators of health of wetland ecosystems i Alberta, specifically in the Prairie, Aspen Parkland and Boreal Dry Mixedwood regions.
