Wetlands

Density-dependent limiting factor: A limiting factor whose effects depend on the size of the population depend on population density. The less dense the population, the less severe the effect of the limiting factor.

Examples: Predation and disease

Density-independent limiting factor: A limiting factor that has the same effect on a population regardless of its population density.

Examples: Natural disasters and climate

A swamp, bog, or marsh would be considered a wetland.

No, a river is a river, not a wetland. If it has wet and spongy soil, like a marsh, it is. It would more refer to an area around a river that would be flooded by it, rather than the river itself. It can refer to any marshy area, often near a coast or river. It is literally land that is wet. It is usually shallow enough, where wading birds might be able to feed. There would typically be vegetation growing up through the water.

Wetlands have such high nutrients because in wetlands there are slow moving waters so all the nutrients will stay in place that were in the waters. Also, the trees have a high number of nutrients too; so if they die, they will keep the nutrients that they have.

From my calculation the wetland gets bout 3 degree's sunlight

It takes about 500 years for a wetland swamp to be made or created. It is created by forests with way to much rain over the years.

Barnegat Bay, Delaware Bay, Lower New York Bay and Raritan

Yes they provide a water source to gather the water so yes.

well this food chain is not the only one but it is an example: (a food chain ALWAYS starts with a plant)seaweed or coral---------krill---------small fish---------piranha--------shark---------whalea...n...d that food chain it going to end with a human.

this doesnt make sense

by not trowing things in the floor

alligators, crocodiles, herons, certain frogs, storks, snakes, some fish
alligator

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.

a lot of mammals live in the wetlands. here are some birds, chipmunk, squriel, and alot more too.

Although platypuses can live in wetlands, this is not one of their preferred habitats. platypuses prefer freshwater creeks, rivers and lakes where they can dig burrows in the banks above the waterline. Wetlands do not usually provide this higher ground for burrows, where platypuses can remain dry when they are not hunting for food.

Wetland is an area of land whose soil is saturated with moisture either permanently or seasonally. Such areas may also be covered partially or completely by shallow pools of water. Wetlands include swamps, marshes, and bogs, among others. The water found in wetlands can be saltwater, freshwater, or brackish. The world's largest wetland is the Pantanal which straddles Brazil, Bolivia and Paraguay in South America.

Wetlands are considered the most biologically diverse of all ecosystems. Plant life found in wetlands includes mangrove, water lilies, cattails, sedges, tamarack, black spruce, cypress, gum, and many others. Animal life includes many different amphibians, reptiles, birds, insects, and mammals.

In many locations, such as the United Kingdom, Iraq, South Africa and the United States, wetlands are the subject of conservation efforts and Biodiversity Action Plans.

Wetlands also serve as natural wastewater purification systems-e.g., in Calcutta, India and Arcata, California.

Some animals are the bull frog, the tree frog, and alligators. Some plants that i can think of are the venus fly trap.

Thank you im the person that asked that but if your a user could you please edit this again and give me descriptions?

Wetlands are full of plants. Plants absorb extra nutrient in the water.

There is no exact number and it changes constantly. It is simply any area where the soil is saturated with water for at least part of the year. They are on almost every continent and some disappear and new ones develop all the time. The consensus is that their numbers are growing smaller so they should be protected.

Over half of the nation's wetlands have been destroyed since the western advancement of the 1600's. ~100,000,000 acres have been lost. See (http://geochange.er.usgs.gov/sw/impacts/hydrology/wetlands/).

The Everglades is the large wetland area in south central Florida. It is under the care and control of the National Parks Service.

Most of the exotic ones in U.S are in Florida. There are Venus fly traps, Sun Dew, Butter warts, pitcher plant, monkey bowl, Wasp flower. The common ones are algae, Wetland Clover. Click on the link below for more information.

The human impact on wetlands is that people make all sorts of fun things that will ac tract tourists. For example a golf course. Then the golf course needs to move the wetland to get more space. Then animals and all sorts of organisms die.

When beavers build dams or lodges, people destroy them so they could make cities and buildings. Then that beavers loses his habitat

Don't really understand the questions but the term "Wetlands" includes ponds and lakes and their surrounding environment.
