The impact of deforestation on the exchange of water vapor and carbon dioxide between the atmosphere and the terrestrial land surface is the biggest concern with regard to the climate system, said Daley. Changes in their atmospheric concentration will have a direct effect on climate. Deforestation has decreased global vapor flows from land by 4 percent, according to a study published by the National Academy of Sciences.
Florida Wetlands are defined as: those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface water or ground water at a frequency and a duration sufficient to support, and under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soils.
Wetlands are areas of land that are covered with water for at least part of a year. The two types of freshwater wetlands are marshes, which contain non-woody plants or shrubs, and swamps which contain woody plants or shrubs.There are also saltwater wetlands which are called estuaries.etlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas.. The wetland ecosystems are one of the most important ecosystems on earth. Wetlands provide habitat that is critical for nesting, rearing, feeding, and migrating bird and other wildlife populations in watersheds across the nation.
