Abstract

Wetlands are such natural habitats that performing valuable ecosystem services such as flood protection, water quality enhancement, food chain support and carbon sequestration. The wetlands may be extensively used without resolving drastic conditions and without chemicals might results in crop production with other wetland services with intact biodiversity. This paper related to ecological screening of Shatiya wetland with the scope of its perspective use and sustainability of crop production. It also provide insight about recent anthropogenic disturbances which will lead sequential pressure to reclaim and loss of natural existing crop fields and the increasing cultivation of energy crops.
