PANEL
DISCUSSION:
Global Climate Change and the Future
Direction of Wetland Restoration - New
Perspectives from SER
Organized by: Kevin Erwin, Sasha
Alexander, and the Society for
Ecological Restoration
1:30-5:00; Ballroom South |
Climate change can be expected to act in
conjunction with a range of other
stressors, many of which, depending on
the region, are a concern for wetlands
and their water resources. Wetland
systems are vulnerable and particularly
susceptible to changes in both the
quantity and quality of water supply.
It appears that climate change will have
its most pronounced effect on wetlands
through alterations in hydrological
regimes - specifically, the nature and
variability of the hydroperiod and the
number and severity of extreme events.
As the underlying fundamentals of
wetland ecosystems and mega-watersheds
continue to experience change,
restoration scientists and practitioners
have begun to re-examine the concepts of
planning, goals, and wetland
management. The effects of climate
change probably will be exacerbated by
other human-induced stressors such as
unsustainable development and
agricultural conversion to increase the
loss, degradation and transformation of
wetlands around the world. As a result,
important provisioning and regulating
services provided by both coastal and
interior wetlands are being threatened
as never before. In the future, wetland
restoration may become a critical
management tool to mitigate the impacts
of climate change by replacing lost
ecosystems and providing buffers to
damaged ecosystems. The Society for
Ecological Restoration (SER)
International is now in the process of
revisiting a number of important
concepts and paradigms for ecological
restoration in the face of global
climate change and other anthropogenic
disturbances. The intent of this panel
is to address the role of restoration
and adaptive management techniques in
promoting ecosystem resilience given the
increased levels of stress and
uncertainty due to climate change and
unrelenting human pressures. The panel
will feature short presentations, case
studies, and audience participation.
Panelists are:
Keith Bowers, President of
Biohabitats, Inc. and Vice Chair of the
Society for Ecological Restoration
Kevin L. Erwin, President and
Principal Ecologist, Kevin L. Erwin
Consulting Ecologist, Inc.
William J. Platt, Professor of
Ecology and Conservation Biology,

PANEL
DISCUSSION: REVISITING THE 1995 NAS
CHARACTERIZATION REPORT
Organized by: James McCulley
8:00-12:00, Lincoln 3 |
How many people remember the proposed
Wetland Manual revisions in 1991? How
about the 1989 Wetland Delineation
Manual? This was a time when the
credibility of the regulatory practices
regarding wetlands was routinely
challenged. At the request of Congress,
the National Research Council formed a
committee that would study the
scientific basis for the
characterization of wetlands. This
committee was formed in 1993 and
included representatives from academia,
business, and environmental groups.
This committee met at various locations
throughout the country, went into the
field, and had many roundtable
discussions before issuing their report
in 1995. This report, "Wetlands:
Characteristics and Boundaries," is
probably on many people's bookshelves
and is a valuable reference document.
This panel discussion will include a
review of the crucial issues, a recap of
interesting discussions, a glimpse into
the process, and a question and answer
session of the 15th year anniversary of
the formation of the committee.
Panelists are:
Fred Bosselman, Professor of Law,
Kent State University
Mark Brinson, Professor,
Department of Biology, East Carolina
University
William J. Mitsch, Distinguished
Professor of Environment and Natural
Resources at Ohio State University
and Editor-in-Chief of Ecological Engineering,
the Journal of Ecosystem Restoration
Wayne Skaggs, William Neal
