WetlandsWetlands are areas that are permanently or periodically wet or inundated. The plants and animals living in wetlands are adapted to, and often dependent on, the wet conditions for at least part of their life cycle. The pattern of inundation determines the productivity of the soils and the plant and animal communities.
