It contains material that has been updated and new information that has been discovered since its original 1999 publication, and incorporates analysis of the 2010 Army Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual. It reviews current and past delineation practices for perspective on advances in the field. It describes international classifications (Ramsar) as well as those from some individual countries.
