Abstract:
Wetlands are important ecosystems globally. Changes in plant species physiology, species
composition, species distribution and phenology have occurred with changes and modifications of
wetland ecosystems. This paper reviews the role of wetlands in relation to the ecophysiology of
plants and extend to which the current change in wetland ecosystems has affected growth,
physiology, distribution and performance of wetland plant species. The paper reports on the past
and the future of our current wetland ecosystems.
