WETLAND TYPES

HABITAT TYPE: 1. WETLAND, 2.WOODLAND, 3.GRASSLAND, 4.HEATHLAND....

I FIND SOME EXAMPLES OF WETLAND TYPE.

   Marshes
   


















Tidal marsh along the Edisto River, South Carolina 

Wet meadows












This wet meadow is in Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado.




Vernal Pools







Vernal pools are usually quite small and ponded only during the wetter part of the year.



Forested swamps 















Swamps frequently support highly diverse vegetation because of the many
layers of vegetation present: shrubs, saplings, and herbacous plants.


I am not going to list plant species at this stage, because the planning should be done before planting.

As well all know that wetlands have recreational, historical, scientific, and cultural values. 
what people do in the wetland? they may hunt, fish, birdwatch or photograph wildlife, hiking, boating, and recreational activities(e.g. painters, writers or photographers).

please edit this post if you have more information.
