Answer 1

Reduction of global warming is not a function performed by wetlands.

Explanation:

• A wetland is a land that had many social benefits and values.
• Such lands contribute a lot to the environment and protect the environment against damages such as floods and erosion.
• It is very important to preserve a wetland as it stores the sediments, prevents erosion, and makes the land rich in sediments which in turn increases the fertility of the soil.
