- The y-axis show: the percentage of recovery compared to natural wetlands.
- The red graph line represents: the plant biomass.
- After 20 years, the plant biomass restored wetland contains about: 80% of the biomass of a natural wetland.
- The capacity of a restored wetland to absorb nutrients compare to the natural wetland after 55 years is: about 40%.
- Most of the productivity of a wetland can be restored within 50 years, but it takes longer to restore soil fertility. This statement is: supported by the data from the graph.
- When a wetland is restored, the ecosystem services that return most rapidly are to: provide food for fish and wildlife.
- The restoration of a wetland takes about 100 years. This statement is: not supported by the graph.
What is plant biomass?
The plant biomass (W) is the total weight of living plant material that is closely related to its capacity for carbon assimilation. Biomass is also the oldest source of energy after the sun that can be used as an energy source, which can be found in any organic matter like wood, animal wastes, crops, seaweed, etc.
