This Research Front extends our knowledge of wetland research in China and, in particular, builds on the special issue published in Volume 69, issue 5 following the 10th INTECOL International Wetlands Conference in Changshu, China, 19–24 September 2016, hosted by Nanjing University. The Conference also produced the Changshu Declaration on Wetlands. In response to the Declaration and recognising the value of sharing information about wetlands in China, this Research Front contains a further five manuscripts.
