Answers
The characteristics and functions of any given wetland are determined by climate, hydrology, and substrate, as well as by position and dominance in the landscape. In many cases, wetlands occupy a small portion of the total landscape (usually less than 10%), but have extensive boundaries with both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. In some cases, they occupy virtually the entire landscape. Despite their great range in size and other features, wetlands share specific characteristics, some of which are structural (water, substrate, biota), while others are functional (nutrient cycling, water balance, organic production). Analysis of these characteristics shows how wetlands are distinct from other kinds of ecosystems, and illustrates the reasons for variation among wetlands.
