TextPublication details: Winnipeg, MB : 1985. Ducks Unlimited Canada,Description: 2 v. (various pagings) : maps ; 28 cmOnline resources: Abstract: Ducks Unlimited Canada develops wetlands to enhance waterfowl use and productivity. Development involves increasing the flooded area and/or regulating water levels. Several workers have studied waterfowl,invertebrate and vegetation populations, or water and soil chemistry after wetland development (Harris and Marshall 1963, Anderson and Glover 1967, Whitman 1976, Munro and Bailey 1980, Kaminski and Prince 1981,Danell and Sjoberg 1982). However, with the exception of Cook and Powers (1958), few studies have quanitified the impact of development on these parameters. Consequently, Ducks Unlimited Canada initiated a study in 1978 to monitor waterfowl, invertebrate and vegetation populations and water chemistry for a number of years before and after wetland development. This information will be used to help secure and develop additional wetlands, and to provide information for environmental impact statements upon request from government agencies.
