I am interested in wetlands and non-tidal ones and how they keep their animal and plant populations, especially those in dry and semiarid regions and also those placed in high elevations. I would like to know about your experience on this subject and have you approached it, if it is possible.
Thanks
If you're doing an analysis of wetland habitat characteristics, you might be interested in the US National Wetland Inventory and the original classification system by Cowardin et al., 1979.

Dear Komal.
No, I am not interested in images, I am interested in other studies from these environments with very unfriendly survival conditions. I am working in some on them in high elevations and it is a wonder to me how fish species can survive when water supply is gone, but the fishes and other aquatic animals and plants are there again when water supply recovers.
Thanks.
Dear Gloria,
My research work is on images. I would definitely help if your work is based on images.
Dear Becky,
Thank you very much for your answer. I know the paper by Cpwardin et al., but I was not aware about the website.
With my best wishes and thanks again.
Dear Gloria
The Caribbean coast of Colombia is located in the Arid Peri-caribbean belt (biogeographic province). Here is the Cienaga Grande, an estuarine lagoon complex.
The tide in the Caribbean coast of Colombia is very small and relatively low in the Ciénaga Grande. If you believe that this wetland serves you, you can consult publications like this on the page of the Institute of Marine Research -INVEMAR

Dear Gloria
I think you may aware of the seed bank which help in recolonization of the plants after drying up. I am not sure about fish community as I am not an expert in this field.
Regards
Dear Rebeca,
I am very impressed by the amount of work that Columbian colleagues have done in the Cienega Grande. It is a good thing that I also read Spanish because those papers are in Spanish and it would be important that others get familiar with them.
I thank you very much for your kindness to call my attention on this matter.
Con mis mejores saludos,
Gloria
