Wetland inventory: A Ramsar framework for wetland inventory

Ramsar handbooks for the wise use of wetlands, 3rd edition, vol. 12.

This Framework for Wetland Inventory has been developed by the STRP, working with the Ramsar Bureau, Wetlands International, the Environmental Research Institute of the Supervising Scientist (Australia) and others, in response to Resolution VII.20. The Framework provides guidance on a standard approach to designing a wetland inventory program. It includes information on determining appropriate remote sensing techniques to apply, wetland classifications and existing standardised inventory methods, and recommends standards for core data fields and data and metadata recording.
