A poster with information about the plant life, climate, and annual rainfall that characterize a wetland environment.

Use this resource when teaching students about different types of ecosystems.

What is a wetland?

Plant life: aquatic plants, or plants that can live underwater, mangroves, seaweed, algae, and water lilies
Climate: Temperatures vary greatly depending on the location of the wetland. Those near the equator can get as hot as 122°F, and those near Siberia can get as cold as -58°F.
Annual rainfall: 7 to 400 inches
