The impact of climate change on vertical hydrological connectivity of wetlands

Key Points

• Wetlands experience changes in their hydrological connectivity due to climate change, affecting their ecosystem services.
• Significant alterations in water flow patterns can disrupt aquatic habitats and biodiversity in these ecosystems.
• Observational analysis across diverse wetlands has shown varying impacts based on local climatic conditions and geography.
• Highlighting the need for adaptive management strategies to maintain wetland health in the face of climate change.
