Any land consisting of marshes or swamps and land that is saturated with water.                                                                 4 different kinds of wetlands Marsh - wetland that is dominated by plants. Swamp - an area of low-lying, uncultivated ground where water collects. Bog - an area of wet muddy ground is very soft. Mire / fen - a stretch of swampy or boggy ground.

Definition: An ecosystem is a large community of living organisms (plants, animals and microbes) in a particular area.  Food chain: Create your own food chain from the Kyle park wetlands below. Use the food chain above as an example. Food  Webs: Definition: A food web is similar to a food chain but larger. A food web uses arrows to show the energy relationships among organisms. Food webs show how plants and animals are connected in many ways.  Create your own food web of Kyle Park using: Algae Dragonfly Tadpole Frog Fish Grey Heron ReplyReply allForward
