A Link to the Journal of Environmental Quality

We posted a new link at right to an abstract in The Journal of Environmental Quality. They came to our attention writing about the successful enhancement of soil thought to be unsuitable for wetlands. Apparently the loamy soils at Cape Fear, NC presented some challenges to good nutrient uptake. These scientists were able to enrich the soil to make it possible to host good wetlands there. While the article is technical, it shows that, once again, even in the most hostile places, Mother Nature's water purifier finds a way to work.
And if you do go look at that page, click on the link on its right side "Similar Articles in This Journal" and you'll get hundreds of articles on wetlands and all the things they remove and all the climates where they have been tested. This stuff is for the scientists.
