The Yellow River basin contains 3.91 million hectares of wetlands, distributed as 80.4% in the upper watershed, 12.5% in the middle watershed, and 7.1% in the lower watershed. The wetlands in the source region of the Yellow River are primarily alpine meadows, while those in the middle reaches consist of riverine and floodplain wetlands, and the lower reaches are mainly coastal wetlands. This chapter will explore the ecological functions of these wetlands, as well as the efforts and challenges involved in wetland management in the basin.

摘要

The Yellow River basin contains 3.91 million hectares of wetlands, distributed as 80.4% in the upper watershed, 12.5% in the middle watershed, and 7.1% in the lower watershed. The wetlands in the source region of the Yellow River are primarily alpine meadows, while those in the middle reaches consist of riverine and floodplain wetlands, and the lower reaches are mainly coastal wetlands. This chapter will explore the ecological functions of these wetlands, as well as the efforts and challenges involved in wetland management in the basin.
