Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

A wetland is a distinct ecosystem that is flooded by water, either permanently or seasonally, where oxygen-free processes prevail.[1] The primary factor that distinguishes wetlands from other land forms or water bodies is the characteristic vegetation of aquatic plants, adapted to the unique hydric soil. Wetlands play a number of functions, including water purification, water storage, processing of carbon and other nutrients, stabilization of shorelines, and support of plants and animals. Wetlands are also considered the most biologically diverse of all ecosystems, serving as home to a wide range of plant and animal life. Whether any individual wetland performs these functions, and the degree to which it performs them, depends on characteristics of that wetland and the lands and waters near it Methods for rapidly assessing these functions, wetland ecological health, and general wetland condition have been developed in many regions and have contributed to wetland conservation partly by raising public awareness of the functions and the ecosystem services some wetlands provide.

Answer 2

Answer:

'Wetlands include only natural water features' is not true about wetlands.

Explanation:

Wetlands are such large areas where water stagnates and an oxygen-lacking ecosystem is created. Wetlands can be perennial or seasonal. They can also be natural or man-made. Wetlands can have either freshwater, brackish water, or salt water. Wetlands are different from other bodies as they house many more species of organisms, and are thus one of the most biologically diverse ecosystems in the world.

Wetlands are important for the earth as they have huge biodiversity and thus are considered important for conservation under the aegis of the Ramsar Convention.
