What is a freshwater wetland pond lake ocean or marsh?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The term wetlands encompasses a wide variety of aquatic habitats including swamps, marshes, prairie potholes, flood plains, and fen.

Natural wetlands are lands which, due to geological or ecological factors, have a natural supply of water-either from tidal flows, flooding rivers, connections with groundwater, or because they are perched above aquifers or potholes. Wetlands are covered or soaked for

at least a part, and often all, of the year. This makes wetlands intermediaries between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. They are neither one or the other, and yet they are both.

What three important things do wetlands do?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

1. Wetlands help keep our water clean. They remove pollutants, wastes, and other harmful substances that are toxic in large doses.

2. They prevents floods and droughts. This is especially true of the Riparian marshes, which absorb water during floods and release water during droughts.

3. They are home to many plants and animals that do not live anywhere else. Diversity in the Earth's species are often good for the economy. More importantly, the species in the wetlands should be protected because many of the problems in the wetlands are caused by people. We have to take responsibility for our actions.
