wetlands

The property has some minor wetlands; no standing water, but soft ground (plants are used to determine wetlands, anyway).

Increased wetlands and standing water in general may mean increased mosquito populations; not a tremendous downside though, just more annoying.

Think of how missing wetlands affect hurricane flooding, but now apply that to all chaotic systems everywhere.

Then they took it up river and then covering all land drained by rivers and all wetlands.

Would they be precluded from using this software to generate histograms related to a wetlands restoration project?

To me the bigger issue is wetland loss since flood walls will likely prevent the replacement of higher-elevation wetlands.

The Endangered Species Act has saved dozens of beaches and wetlands in Texas from being overrun by oil and gas development.

Sounds like more of a threat to wetlands and other frequently-flooded areas that are not being used for agriculture right now.

Can you provide more details about the ways to monetize wetlands?

The weary white wolf yawns in the wind-swept wetlands.

If a company destroys wetlands by dumping chemical waste, that does not make it ok for an individual to destroy a small grove by doing the same.

We continually try to give the impression that we turned the Central Valley from desert into farmland, when the opposite is the case: we turned what was a winter wetlands into a desert.

"Unimproved land" I think they call it - marshes, wetlands, swamps and bogs.

It's worth clarifying, because every time this comes up, some California-basher says "hurr durr why are these morons trying to farm in the desert" while ignoring the fact that, pre-irrigation, natural runoff from the mountains made many areas in central California swamps/wetlands.

It's not as simple as "kill the mosquitos." What if "kill the mosquitos" meant "burn down all the forest and destroy all of the wetlands." Are you about to destroy the world to save your child?

I live a few miles away from the "Meadowlands" in New Jersey - a good example of land thought to be useless and in the need of 'improvement' "Unimproved land" I think they call it - marshes, wetlands, swamps and bogs.

Wetlands and tidal flats are the basis for life and there are more biomes than the visible 'pretty' ones with lions and tigers and bears...
