Temperate freshwater wetlands: types, status, and threats. Environmental Conservation 29(2): 115-133.

Description

Temperature effect: Water abstractions. Review of a range of impacts on different wetland types. One trend is that the more industrialised countries are likely to conserve their already impacted, remaining wetlands, while nations with less industrialisation are now experiencing accelerated losses, and may continue to do so for the next several decades.
