Part I: Wetlands: Biodiversity, Health and their Role in Ecosystem Services. 1. Wetlands and its types: An overview 2. Wetlands and biodiversity associated with these aquatic ecosystems (Flora and Fauna) 3. Wetlands and water quality with special focus on natural and constructed wetlands 4. Wetlands and associated Ecosystem services with special focus on Groundwater recharge, nutrient and biogeochemical cycles, Water and wastewater treatment; Cultural values; Recreation and tourism; Climate change mitigation and adaptation 5. Monitoring of wetlands with integrated remote sensing and GIS applications 6. Wetlands and their role in achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Part II: Wetlands: Biodiversity, Health (Water and Soil) and Bioremediation measures for the restoration and rejuvenation of wetlands 7.
Conventional and advanced biodiversity assessment techniques with special emphasis on Environmental DNA (e-DNA) 8. Faunal diversity and their role in wetland ecological health and dynamics 9. Floral diversity and their role in wetland ecological health and dynamics 10. Habitat characterization with key emphasis on the environmental stressors and environmental variables 11. Migratory birds and their role in wetlands dynamics with special focus on the Indian wetlands/RAMSAR sites 12. Impact of water and soil pollution on the wetland ecological health and dynamics 13. Nature based solutions or bio remediating/phytoremediation agents for the restoration and rejuvenation of wetlands. (This chapter can be divided in to three chapters depends on the response from the global fraternity during chapters' submissions) 14.
Advanced materials (nanotechnological interventions) and cutting age technologies for the restoration and rejuvenation of wetlands Part III: Case Studies Part IV: Ecosystem services, international agencies and policies related to wetlands 15. Functional role of community structure in ecosystem services i.e. biogeochemical cycles, nutrient cycles, degradation pathways, climate change, bioremediation 16. Constructed wetland as sustainable alternative for conventional wastewater treatment technologies 17. Wetlands carbon dynamics, GHGs emissions and their contribution to global carbon budget 18. Economical valuation (tourist carrying capacity (TCC), nature-based livelihoods and their role in wetland ecosystem 19. International Agencies (RAMSAR, CBD) and global wetlands conservation and management policies 20.
Recommendations and Future Framework for the conservation and management of Wetlands considering factors such as Biodiversity, Water and Soil Health, Ecosystem services, Environmental stressors such as anthropogenic activities.
