Describe the three characteristics of a wetland area

What will be an ideal response?


? Hydrology refers to the characteristics of water in a soil. When the hydrology in a soil is particularly wet, free
water will be present among the soil particles. If you pick up a handful of soil in this condition and squeeze it,
water will probably drip out.
? Hydrophytes are water-loving plants. Hydrophytes require much less soil oxygen than other plants, so that the
presence of excess water does not cause problems in their survival.
? Hydric soils are characterized by a general lack of oxygen between the soil particles. This is caused when water
frequently or continuously fills the pores between the soil particles. Because much of the soil's color is a result
of the oxidation of metals such as iron, the absence of oxygen causes a discoloration or mottling of the soil.
This produces white, gray, or pale yellow soil coloration.
