wetland health indicators

Wetland health indicators are measurements used to assess how well a wetland is functioning and maintaining its natural processes. They include factors like water quality, plant diversity, and wildlife presence. These indicators help determine if the wetland is healthy, deteriorating, or recovering. By monitoring these aspects, conservationists can identify issues such as pollution, invasive species, or habitat loss, and take actions to protect and restore wetlands. Overall, wetland health indicators provide a snapshot of the ecosystem’s condition, guiding effective management and ensuring the wetland continues to provide vital ecological services.
