Wetland ecology is the study of the relationship between living organisms and their environment in wetland ecosystems. This field of research focuses on understanding the unique characteristics and functions of wetlands, including their biological diversity, nutrient cycling, water filtration, and the interactions between plants, animals, and microorganisms in these environments. Wetlands are important ecosystems that provide essential services such as flood control, water purification, and habitat for a wide range of species. Research in wetland ecology helps to inform conservation efforts and sustainable management practices for these valuable ecosystems.
