Yes,swamps,bayous,marshes,etc. At least some Cajun people in Louisiana do.
A limiting factor is the factor that stops a process from proceeding as quickly as it could. A limiting factor sets the overall rate of a process. For example, if you are growing crops, increasing the amount of oxygen would increase the yield. The oxygen would be the limiting factor in this case - if there was more of it, the yield of crops will increase, but if there's a lack of it, the yield of crops can't increase, even if you improve other conditions e.g. increase CO2

Why are the Crested Ibis endangered?
Until the late 1800s, this ibis nested over a huge area of mainland Asia and Japan. With the cutting of pine woodlands, where it nested, and the use of pesticides in rice paddies and marshlands, which were its feeding grounds, the bird's numbers declined drastically. It is now designated in Japan as a Special Bird for Protection, and in Korea as National Treasure No. 198. It also has full legal protection in the former USSR. Currently, there are about 40 birds in the wild which survive in South Shaanxi, China

What Animals live in wetlands?
the animals in a wetland are some fishes, turtles, snakes, and some birds.
Yes it is a wetland it is a low impresseion in the ground with water
How are wetlands important to the environment?
They provide a habitat for many wetland animals as well as food and water for species that pass through. Marine wetlands provide organisms important to the food chain of the sea. They also benefit human populations because they slow erosion, help recharge groundwater, and help prevent flooding.
The largest swamp in the world is the Vasyugan Swamp in Russia. It is about 53 times larger than the largest in the United States-- the Okefenokee Swamp in Georgia and Florida.
What is an example of symbiosis in a wetland?
An example of symbiosis in a wetland is the relationship between the pitcher plant and the insect species that it attracts. The pitcher plant provides a habitat and food source for the insects, while the insects help the plant by pollinating it and contributing their waste as nutrients. This mutualistic relationship benefits both the plant and the insects involved.
What are some biotic factors of wetlands?
Some biotic factors of wetlands include plants like cattails, water lilies, and sedges; animals like frogs, turtles, and beavers; and various types of insects and microorganisms that contribute to the ecosystem. The diversity and abundance of these organisms play important roles in the functioning and health of wetland environments.
Wetlands are more prevalent in which physiographic province of Virginia?
Wetlands are more prevalent in the Coastal Plain physiographic province of Virginia. This region has low-lying areas with slow-moving water that create ideal conditions for wetland formation.
A wetland is an area of land that is wet for all or part of the year (e.g. swamps, marsh). A wetland contains some level of water, fed by creeks, streams, or even underground springs. The water is not deep enough to be a pond, but rarely, if ever, drying out to the squelchy level of a bog. They are important habitats for birds, frogs, turtles and are often protected by law. Plants of the wetlands include cattails, sedges, bushes (of many types), and grasses.
Because wetlands require a period of inundation (flooded soil) at least part of the year, they are often characterized by reductive soil chemistry. The soil is full of water, with little or no oxygen, therefore redox rather than oxidizing reactions are common.
Wetlands slow erosion, help recharge groundwater, and help prevent flooding.
Where in North America are the Wetlands?
Wetlands are found in different parts of the world which are: Canada, North America, Africa, Asia, Europe, Central and South America and Australia. Africa has more wetlands than any other continent found.
14 percent are found in Canada.
How do wetlands affect humans?
Wetlands provide important ecological services such as flood control, water filtration, and biodiversity conservation. They also offer recreational opportunities and potential economic benefits through activities like fishing and ecotourism. Additionally, wetlands can improve water quality and help mitigate climate change by storing carbon.
