Plants & animals in the wetlands  Plants include hydrophytes, reeds, mushrooms, and lichen  Animals include Crocodiles, cotton mouth snakes, frogs, alligator snapping turtles, and more

Animal classes in the wetlands The wetlands house many animals most of witch are reptiles such as Crocodiles, snakes, and alligator snapping turtles.

Example of a wetlands food web

Zoologist Animal adaptations Symbiotic relationships The alligator snapping turtle has special adaptations that help it hunt and to defend it has a small worm like tongue that lures fish into it’s mouth and a jaw strength of 2,000 psi (pounds per square inch). The most commonly seen symbiotic relationship in this biome is parasitism and the most commonly seen parasite are leaches, that suck the blood from predators.

Geographer Where in the world is this biome Wetlands are scattered all over the world except Antarctica. Most of them are in Great Britain and the U.S.A Biome elevation Some can be an elevation of 10,0000. Some are in the mountains.

Geographer Land forms The wetlands is a basin were the ground is depressed or along the ground. The soil in this biome is full of nutrients for under water plants to grow.

meteorologist Biomes climate like Average precipitation The hot and humid climate is because of the amount of precipitation and change in climate. The amount of rainfall a wetland receives depends on it’s location. In southeast Asia there is heavy rainfall ranging from 100 to 200 (inches) and the average of 15 (centimeters)

meteorologist Average temperature Water recourses Wetlands in the Arabian Peninsula temperatures can reach up to 50 degrees (Celsius)/122 degrees ferenhieght The water resources for wetlands fresh water surface including rivers, swamps, and lakes.

Botanist Plant reproduction Succession types Pollination is the process reproduction. Dying reeds cause the w3ater to become dense and slow moving. As more plants die matter forms and it becomes a wetland

Botanist What are the native plants The growing season Native plants include trees, and aquatic plants that have to tolerate being under water for a long time. The growing season depends on the weather.
