What are Wetlands?
A wetland is an area between dry land and water that is regularly
saturated with surface or ground water.The amount of water
saturation (hydrology) is the main determining factor of how the
soil develops and the types of plant and animal communities living
in and on the soil.There is great variation among types of wetlands
because of soil differences both regionally and locally,
topography, climate, hydrology, water chemistry, vegetation, and
other factors including human disturbance.
Water is Life
Without water, we would die, and so would plants and animals.
This makes wetland communities very valuable. The soils and
vegetation in this meadow filter rainwater and snowmelt and prevent
erosion.
