The hydroperiod varies dramatically seasonally and year to year.
True
False
The success of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems largely depends on the hydrology of the wetland between these two ecosystems.
True
False
A wetland affected by groundwater tends to have water levels that are more seasonally variable
True
False
A vernal pool is one of the most seasonally variable type of wetland.
True
False
What are the only two major components of hydrologic budgets for wetlands that affect all types of wetlands?
Surface inflow and outflows
Precipitation
Groundwater
Evapotranspiration
Tides
In general, via the processes of flow-through and pulsing hydrology, the species richness of the vegetation present in a wetland will decrease.
True
False
Organic soils typically contain more minerals tied up in organic forms (unavailable to plants) than do mineral soils. However, organic soils contain less nutrients and can often limit plant productivity.
True
False

Sinks
Sources
Dumpsters
Transformers

True
False
What are the five factors that cause variability in concentrations of chemicals in runoff and streamflow?

True
False
