DAILY/SEASONAL CYCLES
Seasonal wetlands are flooded in the winter and begin to dry out in the winter. Their moisture content changes seasonally as opposed to daily. Rains and snows arrive in the winter and begin to fill the area with water. Along with the water comes insects, reptiles, birds, and small mammals to populate the wetland area. As spring arrives, the plants in the wetlands begin to grow, and bloom, providing an additional food sources for the residents. As summer approaches, seasonal wetlands begin to dry out, small animals move deeper into the muddy soils, birds migrate to new areas and other small animals die off, but leave eggs that will hatch when the next rainy season arrives.
