What is limiting factor?

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

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

This mutualistic relationship benefits both the plant and the insects involved.

What is a natural wetland?

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.
