Environmental Science/Climate Change & Mitigation
Natural wetlands, often referred to as the “kidneys of the Earth,” are vital ecosystems that provide a range of ecological, economic, and social benefits. They purify water, control floods, recharge groundwater, store carbon, and support an immense diversity of plant and animal species. Despite their crucial role, wetlands are under severe threat from human activities such as agriculture, urbanization, pollution, and unsustainable development. The growing impact of climate change exacerbates these threats, making the conservation and management of wetlands even more urgent. CONTENTS: About the Authors / Editors: Editors: Ashok K.

AAP support has been truly important throughout the initial and final stages of the book. While the majority of the publishing work is done at the early stages, the final touches that include the last-minute corrections of the authors are extremely crucial to the quality the book tries to convey. The assistance of AAP during the last stages of corrections and communication with the authors was a very positive contributor to my state of mind during those stressful moments. I recommend the publishing experience with AAP to other editors of scientific material.” —Stavros Hatzopoulos, PhD, Hearing Science Laboratory, University Hospital of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy AAP book title: Nanotechnologies: The Physics of Nanomaterials (2-volume set) “I was very pleased with the interaction and support of the team at Apple Academic Press.
