This book summarizes the contribution of the MERP to the current scientific understanding of prairie wetland ecology. Part I introduces the MERP study and provides background information. Part II incorporates the information on the nutrient pools and fluxes within the MERP experimental cells with other current information on prairie wetland nutrients. Part III provides state-of-the-art syntheses on individual topics incorporating advances through the MERP with current knowledge in the field. Part IV summarizes wetland management implications of the MERP results and provides an overall summary of the textbook.
A series of appendices are also provided including a summary of the MERP field and laboratory techniques. Students, researchers, or anyone interested in the ecology of wetland systems will find a wealth of knowledge in Prairie Wetland Ecology.

"The early understanding of prairie wetland ecology was developed from research and conservation work inspired by the droughts of the 1930s. Although most waterfowl and wetland studies over the next 40 years were descriptive, they highlighted the importance of conserving northern prairie wetlands as a habitat for the wide array of wildlife species occupying these dynamic systems. What was needed to advance management theory and practice was true experimental data so that hypotheses derived from published models of marsh wet-dry cycles could be tested".
