10
Wetlands that have trees.
11
Swamp
12
Has been called a “wet grassland”
13
Marsh
14
They study of water at or near the surface of land
15
Hydrology
16
A cross section of soil that extends from the surface to the bedrock.
17
Soil Profile
18
Types of plants that require lots of water and the anaerobic conditions that the hydric soil creates?
19
Wetland Plants
20
What are the 3 characteristics that make up a wetland?
21
Plants, Soil, and Hydrology
22
What are the 2 components of hydrology?
23
Hydroperiod & Physical
24
What are the 3 general types of wetlands?
25
Basin, Riverine, & Fringe
26
What type of wetland has only vertical water flow?
27
Basin
28
Which type of wetland has hydroperiods that are not seasonal like basin wetlands?
29
Fringe
30
What is a mixture of minerals, air, water, bedrock, living and decaying organisms called?
31
Soil
32
Where does soil come from?
33
The weathering or breaking down of bedrock.
34
What are the 3 types of soils?
35
Sandy, Silt, & Clay
36
What is loam soil?
37
It is a mixture of sand, clay, & silt and it is the best type of soil
38
What are the 4 zones of a soil profile and what is in each?
39
Horizon O- Topsoil Horizon A- Subsoil Horizon B- Partially weathered bedrock Horizon C- Bedrock
40
Plants that are from the area that provide food and shelter for organisms.
41
Native
42
Plants that are not naturally from the area.
43
Exotic or Invasive
44
Plants that are found in wetlands 99% of the time?
45
Obligate Wetland Plants
46
Plants that are found in uplands 67-99% of the time?
47
Facultative Upland Plants
48
Plants that are found in both wetlands and uplands 34-66% of the time?
49
Facultative Plants
50
What are 3 of the 5 reasons of why wetlands are important?
51
Filter water, protect from floods, provide food, & habitat, prevent erosion
52
What are 2 of the 3 impacts if wetlands are destroyed?
53
Increased floods, decrease in wetland plants & animals, water quality issues
54
Who decides how much wetland must be rebuilt based on the quality of the wetland destroyed?
55
The U.S. Army Core of Engineers
56
What 3 things would you do if you were to restore a wetland?
57
1.Plant native wetland vegetation 2.Make sure the soil can still hold water (hydric) 3.Dig a basin in a flood plain 4.Build a dam
59
List 3 points made about wetlands by the Clean Water Act (i.e. what can builders do/not do)?
60
1.Avoid changing the wetlands if possible. 2.When impossible to avoid, do as little damage as possible. 3.If a wetland is destroyed they must rebuild a wetland in another place or pay to restore a wetland.
61
A cross section of the soil that extends from the surface to the bedrock?
62
Soil Profile
63
The duration, frequency, depth, and flood season of a wetland?
64
Hydroperiod
65
The type of wetland that includes lakes and ponds?
66
Basin
67
Type of wetland found in costal areas?
68
Fringe
69
Organisms that are not native, dominate an ecosystem and prevent native plants from growing?
70
Invasive
