摘要：

The environmental benefits of restoring and preserving wetlands-including cleaner water, increases in wildlife populations, and carbon sequestration-as well as costs, depend on wetland type, land productivity, and the public's desire for amenities, all of which depend on location. Findings show where wetland conservation funding might be targeted to maximize benefits relative to costs.
