Wetlands are critical regulators of water, nutrient, and carbon cycles, providing critical ecosystem services such as flood mitigation, nutrient retention, carbon sequestration, groundwater recharge and biodiversity support. How these functions manifest, however, is driven by the broader landscape context in which these wetlands are embedded. This session explores wetlands not only as isolated ecosystems but as part of broader wetlandscapes—networks embedded within agricultural, urban, and natural catchments. We invite contributions spanning field studies, remote sensing, and modeling that assess wetland function, connectivity, and resilience. By bringing together diverse perspectives, this session seeks to advance integrated frameworks for wetland management and policy. Our aim is to spark discussion that bridges the gap between wetland-scale scientific advancements and watershed-scale implementation of nature-based solutions in wetlandscapes.
