Scenarios about 'wetlands'
Wetlands are distinct ecosystems where water covers the soil or is present at or near the surface for varying periods, creating habitats that support specialized plant and animal communities. Throughout history, these areas have been vital for flood control, water purification, and biodiversity, while also serving as important resources for human settlements. In alternate history scenarios, different approaches to wetland preservation or development could significantly alter environmental conditions, settlement patterns, and the course of regional conflicts over these valuable territories.
