The Wonder of Wetlands: Interdisciplinary investigations on the multiple values of English wetlands

This final report of the WetlandLIFE project brings together an overview of the work carried out during the project, presents the key findings and describes the ten major project outputs. The 4-year long research activities included contributions from the arts, economics, humanities, and natural and social sciences, which explored wetland values and possible disvalues with respect to mosquitoes, focussing on English lowland wetlands in urban, rural and coastal settings.

This report also helps navigate and understand the process of interdisciplinarity used during the project. Throughout the report, key "interdisciplinary moments" are presented in terms of five key questions: why, when, who, how and so what. These moments allow the reader to drill down into how interdisciplinarity operated during the project and demonstrates how understanding the multiple values of nature is only possible when multiple perspectives come together to reveal the importance of nature through many different lenses.
