The Power of Wetland Plants

Scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey Wetland and Aquatic Research Center study important aspects of wetlands, such as the flow and quality of water, the chemistry of soil, and the plants and animals which call this ecosystem home. The plants found in wetlands are known as hydrophytic vegetation and they play a crucial role in supporting this entire ecosystem. In this video, we learn about the many benefits of healthy wetland plants.
