What is the Wetlands Biome?
A biome is a community of flora and fauna which has adapted to particular conditions; biomes are also known as ecosystems. The wetlands biome is a biome characterized by damp conditions, leading to a diverse collection of species which enjoy this semi-aquatic environment. Examples of the wetlands biome can be found in almost every part of the world, except for regions which remain frozen year-round. Wetlands are believed to be very ecologically important because they provide shelter, food, and protection for a range of species, and they also act as buffer zones, protecting neighboring biomes from flooding and inclement weather.
