Abstract

How do you recognize a wetland? If the hydrology, plants, and soils are typical of wetland habitat, then the shoreline, bog, marsh, or swamp is a wetland. Wetlands benefit the environment, trap suspended and dissolved contaminants, and use excess nutrients. Author discusses slowing channels through wetlands to increase cleansing time for water. 4 pages.
