Wetlands in the United States are an important terrestrial carbon sink and are impacted by management decisions and land use change. This chapter presents general patterns of wetland carbon management and land use, and identifies the data needs and scientific investigations necessary to improve research in this important field. Background information in contemporary and historical land use change and land management decisions, such as changes to hydrology and wildfire, and effects on wetlands are discussed, along with the need to further investigate and create more precise maps of wetland location, type, and carbon stocks.
