Tropical peat swamp forests grow over tropical peatlands, which are widely distributed in flat lowlands in Southeast Asia. Recently, however, deforestation and drainage are in progress on a large scale because of growing demands for timber and farmland. In addition, the El Nino…

The Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation (SCCF) is using high intensity fire to perpetuate fresh-water marsh on Sanibel Island. Shrubs are invading the marsh because of the decreased hydroperiod. A policy of fire conclusion was followed until 1971 when a destructive wildfire…
