Biotics in wetland ecosystem

Abstract

Wetlands are the most diverse and productive ecosystems on earth. Wetlands perform important functions like flood control, shore-line protection and protection against adverse global temperature increment which were hardly even recognised till now. They are home to diverse species of flora and fauna. Wetlands have been differentiated into different communities based on their ecological function and vegetative composition. Wetlands around the world are facing existence crisis, human activities have played a major role in the contamination, invasion and loss of endangered species of fauna and near extinction of wetlands.
