Wetlands
A: List the major ideas, concepts or key points- point by point
•Often endangered because they can be hard to identify.
•Are often as diverse as rain forests
•Have commercial and utilitarian functions.
•shallow-water systems, or areas where water is at or near the surface for some time.
•humans and other animals can also determine water levels.
•are long-lived precisely because of events that people consider economically devastating
•Hurricanes can removed wetlands or created wetlands
•often as different in their appearance
•wetlands had been destroyed as people built on them.
•Wetlands also differ from deep-water aquatic systems in their sensitivity to the e›ects of water-level changes,
•Depend in the immediate area.
•can serve as reproductive or feeding sites for some species only if they are connected
•aerobic and anaerobic bacteria found there. on contiguous water systems makes them especially vulnerable
B: Summarize the AUTHOR’s main point or idea- at LEAST 1-2 paragraphs
Wetlands are full of diversity, but it’s hard to maintain it because it’s hard to find them. Wetlands are central to the life cycle of many plants and animals. They are sources of lucrative harvests of wild rice, fur-bearing animals, fish and shellfish. Wetlands are re shallow-water systems, near the surface. It can occur in cold climates where permafrost retains water and low evaporation rates prevail. Hurricanes and high-velocity floods scour sediments and organic matter, removing them from wetlands or creating wetlands. They have different appearance, and complexity making it difficult to identify and, hence, difficult to preserve. Wetlands had been destroyed as people built on them. These ecosystems could no longer serve to absorb floodwaters. Wetland policy out of the hands of the scientists and to establish simplistic rules through legislative fiat. protection of these systems can be integrated into broader land-use policies, some policies have been implemented in many countries.
C: Write a reaction paragraph to the article stating your own thoughts on the topic,
using specific citations from the article to support your views
Even though wetlands are useful and diverge, it can also be huge but it’s getting destroy because it’s difficult to find the problem. Because it’s hard to find them. My reaction to this, I got confused, it couldn’t be so difficult to recognized something like that. Wetlands are getting destroy. What surprise me was that there wasn’t a accurate solution, and solution in processes. People keep thinking about methods to solve this but there are still focussing in the problem. They can’t do anything until they find out what’s the real problem. I understood that, but they know what the territory does for our environment and what would happened if it disappears. Some are fighting to protect and are doing something, but we need more people to do the same before it’s too late.
What?
Wetlands are important to the environment, but is rapidity disappearing.
Say’s who?
Wetland Creation and Restoration: The Status of the Science, Jon A. Krusler, William J. Mitcsh and Joseph S. Larson that works on aspects of wetlands.
What if?
We could tell more people, if more people were aware of what’s happening. If there was more than one solution, maybe we can be on time to make a change. To do something.
What does it remains you of?
“The fish and the forest” because I think they take place in the same location. It’s not a forest, but wetland can be a forest too.
