delta ecosystems

Delta ecosystems are dynamic areas where a river fans out into multiple channels before reaching a larger body of water like an ocean or lake. These regions are rich in nutrients, supporting diverse plant and animal life. They often feature wetlands, swamps, and unique landforms shaped by sediment deposits over time. Deltas play a vital role in filtering water, reducing floods, and supporting fishing and agriculture. Their health depends on the balance of sediment flow, water quality, and human activity, making them crucial ecosystems for environmental stability and biodiversity.
