This extension note describes the basic ecological features of wetland ecosystems. It is a foundational document that provides important concepts and background information to be applied in future extension notes on wetland management. Major topics and concepts covered in this document are: - definition of a wetland ecosystem and comparison of characteristics with other related ecosystems, - recognition of the different applications of the term "wetland ecosystem" at site and landscape scales, - major environmental factors and their effects on wetland ecosystems, - classification of wetland ecosystems, - successional patterns in wet-land ecosystems, - natural disturbance regimes of wetlands, - role of reserves in protecting wetland ecosystems, - regional variation in wetland abundance and characteristics, and - some important management issues for wetland ecosystems in British Columbia.
