Driving forces of changes in China’s wetland area from the first (1999–2001) to second (2009–2011) National Inventory of Wetland Resources
Based on the wetland areas recorded in the First National Inventory of Wetland Resources (FNIWR; 1999–2001) and the Second National Inventory of Wetland Resources (SNIWR; 2009–2011), as well as regional environmental parameters including meteorological conditions and land-use structure, the driving...
