Because on average more water precipitates than evaporates, the island is rich in wetlands - marshes, swamps, fens, bogs, lagoons, floodplains and wet meadows, to name but a few. Many place names in Ireland refer to wet places. Words derived from the Irish language are used to refer to a particular type of wetland, such as \"callows\" for the floodplains of the River Shannon, or \"turlough\" for a type of ephemeral wetland found almost exclusively in Ireland. This book brings together specialists in wetland science discussing a wide range of topics from an Irish perspective, including the ecology, fauna, vegetation and distribution of various types of wetlands; the use of wetlands for wastewater management; the archaeology of wetlands; and protection and conservation. It is intended for a wide audience of wetland enthusiasts - not just for professionals, but also for those who through their hobbies have a passion for those wet and wild places.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781900621885\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e 51 colour and 17 b\u0026amp;w photographs, 8 maps\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50861670891847,"sku":"V3-5Z5N-F4L0","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0293\/7474\/2572\/files\/61SEnjQIgBL.jpg?v=1736541050","url":"https:\/\/www.pigeonhousebooks.com\/products\/wetlands-of-ireland-distribution-ecology-uses-and-economic-value-distribution-ecology-uses-and-economic-value","provider":"Pigeonhouse Books, Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
