Environmental Factors, Biomass, and Function of Wetlands

Abstract

Wetlands are an important part of the biosphere. Wetlands not only impact the natural environment but also play vital roles in human life. This paper starts with the classification, distribution, and main functions of wetlands, then analyzes the relationship between wetlands and the biosphere from several aspects, including the factors that affect wetlands, the biomass of wetlands, the importance of wetlands for carbon storage, and the threats that wetlands may face. Based on previous research, wetlands can be impacted by environmental factors, such as water supply and temperature, and biological factors, including aboveground biomass and below-ground biomass. When interacting with these factors, wetlands can play crucial roles in the biosphere, such as facilitating the circulation of energy and materials and the storage of carbon. However, wetlands are facing threats. After analyzing the current state of wetlands, possible solutions are considered. Both research and society can make efforts to improve wetlands ecosystems. This report is significant for understanding the current situation and the direction of future development of wetlands. It is crucial to study the environmental factors affecting wetlands, considering the protection, improvement, and future development of wetland ecosystems depend on their surroundings to a great extent. Interactions between wetlands and the environment directly or indirectly determine the state of wetlands.
