   abstract: Wetland function may be altered in the future because of dynamic shifts
     in droughts, water extraction, water fluctuation, salinity intrusion, CO2 levels,
     and storm intensity. Populations of species can be extirpated especially by
     drought, and tree mortality is especially common at the edges of species diestribution
     ranges during drought. Beth Middleton examines patterns of  ecosystem function
     along latitudinal gradients in baldcypress swamps, monsoonal wetlands, mangrove
     swamps, northern peatleands, prairie fens, and floodplain wetlands. She has
     organized symposia, written three books, and edited three special journal volumes,
     which support multidisciplinary comparisons and research analysis of wetland
     function. Other research topics include the effects of hurricanes on coastal
     wetlands, flood pulsing in restoration, and biodiversity loss in fens of Europe,
     Asia and North America. Middleton maintains a research network of baldcypress
     swamps (North American Baldcypress Swamp Network) and invites other researchers
     to work in these study sites dedicated to the study of long term function of
     swamps in the southeastern US.
