They occur within the intertidal zone of the Minnamurra River estuary. This ecosystem is made up of a community of plants and animals interacting with each other and the abiotic environment. The vegetation of the shoreline is dominated by the Grey Mangrove and the River Mangrove. At the study site‚ both mangroves can

Fertile soil‚ with moss embedded‚ is scattered near the extensive bodies of water present. Animals coexist in harmony with one another in this ecosystem‚ known as the Everglades. Wetlands are a natural part of our earth‚ and an essential place for wildlife to thrive. However‚ the wildlife’s health has been decreasing continually in the Everglades due to water pollution/depletion and its negative effects. This issue can be ended by ceasing further human development of the Everglades‚ hindering the

Wetland Destruction Wetlands are very important to the ecosystem and human communities. They filter pollution‚ provide habitat for countless species‚ endangered plants and provide natural flood protection. In the 1600s more than 220 million acres of wetlands existed. Due to farming and development‚ by 1980 more than half of those had been destroyed. Wetland destruction is becoming a huge problem. Not only are wetlands disappearing but those still existing are suffering degradation from chemical

The food web of the snakes and other organisms in an ecosystem helps to show how the snakes live in their habitats and help make a community. Snakes are simple animals. These non-venomous constrictors use their forked tongue to detect different odors from their prey. The Ball Python strikes with great velocity and kills by constriction. The snake’s diet is a great help in ecosystems by keeping

Synopsis: Restoration methods of wetlands are not one size fits all. Jimmy Webb‚ Conservation Biology (BIOL 834)‚ Spring 2011 General Introduction Wetlands are a vital ecosystem. Wetlands support great biological diversity of species (Russell et al. 2002 and Liner et al. 2008). Even though wetlands contain great diversity‚ wetlands are often undervalued and overlooked (Russell et al. 2002). Scientists have estimated that approximately 50% of all wetlands have been lost since the colonization
