Abstract:
Nonparametric one-way ANOVA (Kruskal-Wallis) tests on measurements of SC, Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, DOC, TDN, TDS, Si, SO42- , pH, DO, K+, Cl-, NH4+, NO3-, TDP, and HCO3- showed statistically identical surface water chemistry of lotic and terrene wetlands.. Isotopic analyses of 2H and 18O for 30 synoptic wetland surface waters also failed to show differences for any of the HGM wetland classes. In as much as the chemistry of wetland waters reflect fundamental differences in wetland hydrology, we question the utility of HGM approaches to evaluate wetland functions in all but in a broad regional conceptual basis.
