Q: How do I know if I'm dealing with wetlands?
A: If any section of the land becomes flooded or ponded up and/or the soil is at any point in the year extremely saturated, you most likely have wetlands.
Q:Is it safe to walk around in the wetlands?
A:This type of area is common for snakes and other reptiles to thrive, but the main worry to have before going on wetlands is to determine if you need a permit to enter it or not. Many wetlands areas often require privileges or permits to access them.
Q:What is a riparian area?
A: A riparian area is simply where water and land meet to create a saturated soil and allow for plant life to grow.
Q:Do wetlands have any benefits?
A:Wetlands offer themselves as a type of natural filter. It filters pollutants out of the water as it moves, and filters nutrients into the soil. Also, because of thick vegetation and thick sediments, wetlands serve as a deterrent of flooding and help to stop or slowing rushing waters.
Q: Is the wetland biome created by rain at all?
A: Wetlands are created by many factors, but mainly the idea of laying at the bottoms of valleys. That way, whether the water source be rain, rivers, or run off, all the water accumulates at the bottom of the valley and creates a wetland.
Q:What kind of animals can I expect to see?
A: In this ecosystem, though predators do exist, it is not very likely that you will encounter very large predators. With the exception of the coyote and bald eagle, most of the predators are things such as frogs or voles. Deer are very common in these areas due to high amounts of vegetation growth. Many insects can also be seen for that same reason, and it is also a place common for butterflies to migrate to.
Q:Are wetlands important?
A: As stated before, wetlands are very good at stopping or slowing down very fast water such as flood waters. However, they are also very good at protecting states such as Louisiana from hurricanes and other natural natural disasters.
Q:Is there a difference between swamps and wetlands?
A:A wetland is simply and area that has saturated soil with high amounts of moisture, EXAMPLES of wetlands include swamps, marshes, and bogs. A swamp is an area with levels of water that are above the ground, have dry land throughout them, and can either be temporary or permanent.
