to water-saturated soil. Some wetlands are inundated at all times‚ whereas others flood infrequently. Wetlands are home to a diverse community of invertebrates‚ which in turn support a wide variety of birds. Wetlands are among the most productive biomes on Earth. Their water-saturated soils favor the growth of plants such as floating pond lilies and emergent cattails‚ many sedges‚ tamarack‚ and black spruce‚ which have adaptations enabling them to grow in water or in soil that is periodically anaerobic

species will develop different methods of adaptation that enable them to survive in any particular niche. In summary‚ natural selection will drive the adaptation of any given population to fit the number of available niches‚ and this will create the biodiversity that is present in nature. Explain Continued evolution requires a diverse population‚ which provides the raw material on which natural selection can act. As natural selection is the accumulation of random‚ small genetic changes‚ the chances

Woodlands have more biodiversity than any other habitat in Britain. Trees are home to a huge number of other plants‚ insects‚ fungi‚ mosses‚ litchins‚ birds and small animals‚ which all provide food for other animals higher up the food chain. Protecting our woods is a great way to protect wildlife. So why do we encourage people to chop down trees and burn them? And how can a Scout groups and two abseilers help? Chopping down the coppice Hazel coppice is an important habitat for protected Dormice
