{"product_id":"wetlands-of-ireland","title":"Marinus Otte: Wetlands of Ireland: [2024]","description":"Ireland is famous - or notorious - for its wet and mild climate. 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.","brand":"Otte, Marinus","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":52777844900179,"sku":"9781900621892","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/otte-marinus-marinus-otte-wetlands-of-ireland-2024-9781900621892-1216452843.jpg?v=1768338879","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.com\/products\/wetlands-of-ireland","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
