Wetlands

**Wetlands**

Introduction:
The biome presented is wetlands. Wetlands include many interesting parts of nature. They have many geographic regions, abiotic factors, flora, and fauna.

**Geographic Regions and Abiotic Factors:** Wetlands are found all over the world, within almost terestrial biome from desert alpine tundra. Wetlands are classified areas where the soil is soaked with moisture. The biggest wetland is the Pantanal in the South America. Wetlands are also found in the U.S, South africa, North America, Iraq, and Kimdarrin.

Flora:
The vegetation that grows here is grass, flowers, moss, mangroves (salt trees), pine trees, bushes, weeds, cattails, and horsetails. Most of these plants live on the shoreline or float on the water surface. These plants are hydrophytic, which means they are able to live in water. They are built with special air pores in their roots and stems, which can transport oxygen.

Fauna:
There are many different types of species living in the wetland areas.Such as turtles, snakes, frogs, insects, bugs, different species of birds and fish. All these organisms have there own way of adapting in their environment. Something most of the living organisms do to adapt to the environment is camouflage so they will not get eaten so easily. The organisms need to learn how to adapt in order to survive in their environment and must know how to hunt for its food. If the environment changes the organisms have to know how to change or else they will not survive in it. Surviving in wetland areas can be difficult for the organisms living in it.
