What is the natural resources of the wetlands?
Many plants and animals have adapted to living in estuaries. The enclosed bodies of water are biologically productive and habitat many types of wildlife.
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.
What is the difference between tidal and non-tidal wetlands?
Tidal wetlands are influenced by the ebb and flow of ocean tides, leading to regular flooding and exposure to saltwater, which shapes the types of plants and animals that thrive there. Non-tidal wetlands, on the other hand, are not affected by ocean tides and can include freshwater marshes, swamps, and bogs, typically characterized by stagnant or slow-moving water. The key distinction lies in the salinity levels and hydrological dynamics, which impact the ecosystems and biodiversity of these wetlands.
What other benefits do wetlands provide?
1.Wetlands serve as filter of storm water to take out or absorb nutrients before getting into the LAKE, OR COASTAL WATERS. 2.Wetlands serve as nursery for baby fishes. 3. Wetlands serve as spawning grounds for anadromous fish. 4. Provide the habitat for hydrophytic vegetation

Why does wetlands need to be preserved?
It is important to preserve the Wetlands because many species of plants and animals will become extinct without them. The Wetlands also help keep water levels normal and purify the water. It is important to preserve wetlands because it is still land. You would not want the lands to flood.
