Question

wetland biomes
are dominated by ________ and poorly draining soils
include:

bogs
wetland which accumulates dead plant material
fens
wetland with grasses and mineral rich water
marshes
wetland dominated by ________
swamps
wetland dominated by trees

Explanation:

1. For the first blank: Wetland biomes are dominated by hydrophytes (water - loving plants) and poorly draining soils. Hydrophytes are plants adapted to grow in aquatic or wetland environments, which is characteristic of wetland biomes.
2. For the "bog" description: Bogs are wetlands that accumulate dead plant material (like peat, which is partially decomposed plant matter).
3. For the "fen" description: Fens are wetlands with grasses and mineral - rich water. They get their nutrients from mineral - rich groundwater or surface water.
4. For the "marsh" blank: Marshes are wetlands dominated by grasses (and other herbaceous plants). Marshes are typically characterized by non - woody vegetation like grasses.
5. For the "swamp" description: Swamps are wetlands dominated by trees (like mangrove swamps or cypress swamps, where trees are the dominant vegetation).

Answer:

• First blank: hydrophytes (water - loving plants)
• Bog: wetland which accumulates dead plant material (peat - forming, with slow decomposition due to anaerobic conditions)
• Fen: wetland with grasses and mineral rich water
• Marsh blank: grasses (herbaceous plants)
• Swamp: wetland dominated by trees
