The climate affects our wetlands in many ways. Climate can have control over how much the wetlands are decreased and what plant and animals species can remain. For example, if the climate changes, it will be harder for certain plants to survive in certain climate conditions. It is even harder for animals to adapt to climate changes which could result in them dying off or trying to find a new habitat. This would not benefit the few animal species that do remain in the wetlands because once they have all been hunted, there will be no more left. When climate changes, weather may change, too. If the weather changes too drastically as a result of climate change, the wetlands can be destroyed by too much flooding. If the moisture levels drop due to climate change, it could result in a drought which would leave the wetlands dried up. This could lead to the decrease in the amount of plants that are left in the wetlands; for example, marshes. I realize all of this because of procedures that we have done in class. For example, our sea level rise experiment with ice.
