Résumé :	Wetlands are created or restored for a number of purposes, including flood control, water purification, sediment and nutrient retention, and biodiversity. Restoration of wetlands is the process of recreating former conditions at a site that once contained a wetland. Wetland creation involves manipulating a site without a historical wetland so that it functions as a wetland. Success of wetland creation or restoration is usually determined by comparing structural (hydrology, vegetation structure) and functional (carbon and nutrient cycling) elements of the new wetland with a natural system. The new wetland will ideally be a natural, functioning, self-regulating system that is integrated within the ecological landscape in which it occurs.
