Wetlands and forests are one of the important ecosystem components of the earth. They both undertake important ecological functions and are important ecological places for earth organisms. wetland plants are mainly herbs, and forest plants are mainly woody plants.

Wetlands can purify water quality、buffer floods.At the same time,forests can generate oxygen, conserve water sources, and maintain soil and water. In addition to aquatic plants, wetland organisms also includes birds, amphibians, aquatic and other animals.

Forests are known as the cradle of human culture、the resource of life and the green treasure house. It can conserve water sources, maintain soil and avoid soil erosion. It can also purify air and sewage, block, filter, and absorb radioactive substances.What’s more,it can greatly reduce the content of dissolved substances in the flowing water and reduce the number of bacteria in the water. At last, forests also play a role in regulating climate, maintaining soil and water, and protecting farmland.

Compared with forests, wetlands seem to be far away from us, and their contribution to the ecological environment has received less attention in the past. The so-called wetlands generally refer to the transition zone between rivers, lakes, oceans and other water bodies and land. Due to long-term inundation or large shallow water areas, unique soil systems are formed, such as swamps, which are typical wetlands.

Don't underestimate wetlands, it is one of the three major ecosystems on earth alongside forests and oceans. This is because wetlands have a strong over-purification and decomposition effect on various pollutants, and play a huge "detoxification" function in the earth's ecosystem. Lush plants grow on wetlands, accompanied by various aquatic animals and a huge number of microbial groups invisible to the naked eye. Various pollutants that flow into wetlands with water are either directly blocked by soil, or utilized by wetland animals and plants, or decomposed by wetland microorganisms. On the whole, wetlands are like a huge natural purifier.

Forests and wetlands defend the homes we live in through their unique functions, enabling us to enjoy the beautiful natural scenery and relax physically and mentally. Therefore, their protection is also a guardian of our happiness.
