Abstract
Editorial: Dams and Wetland Biodiversity: Impacts and Mitigating Measures
Highlights
To meet energy, water and transportation needs, an incredible amount of dams have been constructed around the world
While about 50% of the river around the world is currently changed by dam, this percentage is expected to increase to 93% because of the pending construction of about 3,700 major hydropower dams (Grill et al, 2015)
Freshwater wetlands provided habitat for about one fifth of species and one third of vertebrate species in the world (Wu et al, 2019). The aim of this Research Topic is to gather the latest research addressing the critical issue of the impact of construction, operation and removal of dams on biodiversity, with a particular focus on mitigating measures
