Shuanglianpi Wetland (Chinese: 雙連埤) is a partially protected natural area located in Yilan County, northern Taiwan. Situated at an elevation of 470 meters above sea level, it features a botanically rich, shallow lake. Due to its high plant species density, the Forestry Bureau of Taiwan considers it a wetland of global significance. [1]
Via the Wistron Foundation and in cooperation with the Society of Wilderness NGO, Wistron contributes to conservation, revitalization and education for Shuanglianpi Wetland in Yilan County, [10] Taiwan. The wetland is considered a "paradise" for aquatic plant life and holds several nationally threatened species of flora. [11]
The Wetlands Geodatabase and the Wetlands Mapper, as an Internet discovery portal, provide technological tools that allow the integration of large relational databases with spatial information and map-like displays. The information is made available to an array of federal, state, tribal, and local governments and the public.
Chemical ions are transported to wetlands via their hydrological system, and in turn affect pH, conductivity, and nutrient levels. [7] Chemical and nutrient dynamics may differ depending on a minerotrophic wetland’s hydrological setting, which could include water discharge dominated, recharge dominated, or some combination of both.

The convention establishes that "wetlands should be selected for the list on account of their international significance in terms of ecology, botany, zoology, limnology or hydrology." Over the years, the Conference of the Contracting Parties has adopted more specific criteria interpreting the convention text.

A wet meadow is a type of wetland with soils that are saturated for part or all of the growing season which prevents the growth of trees and brush. Debate exists whether a wet meadow is a type of marsh or a completely separate type of wetland. [1] Wet prairies and wet savannas are hydrologically similar.
Riparian zones are important in ecology, environmental resource management, and civil engineering [6] because of their role in soil conservation, their habitat biodiversity, and the influence they have on terrestrial and semiaquatic fauna as well as aquatic ecosystems, including grasslands, woodlands, wetlands, and even non-vegetative areas.
