What are some landforms on the wetland biome?
The amount of vegetation in a wetland makes a big difference to a wetlands well being. The more plants a wetland has, the more water, nutrients, and minerals it will obtain, and as a result of more minerals, the soil will become richer and even more plants will grow. Also, with more plants the velocity of the water is slowed down, and more water is released into the atmosphere by the plants. The less vegetation there is in a wetland, the higher the water flow, and the bigger chance of flooding. Wetlands are home to a diverse culture of plants and animals. For example, nearly fifty percent of amphibians breed in one type of wetland (vernal pools). Without the ecological support of wetlands, we would see the extinction of many unique species that can only be supported in a wetlands environment. In fact, approximately 43 percent of all the endangered bird species live in the wetlands. Wetlands give habitats to a lot of different land animals, semi-aquatic (beavers and muskrats), and plants. Wetlands provide animals with food and shelter, as well as a place to raise their young. Amphibians have to live in wet places, so what better place than a wetland for hundreds of species of frogs and salamanders? Wetlands are also known to harbor snakes, turtles, and alligators.
