The document discusses trophic relationships in various wetland ecosystems. It describes the producers and consumers in salt marshes, mangroves, freshwater marshes, peatlands, and southern deepwater swamps. Salt marsh producers include grasses and plants tolerant of salt. Consumers include insects, spiders, crabs, fish, birds, and mammals. Mangroves have high biomass due to tidal nutrients and support many filter feeders and detritivores as well as juvenile commercially important species. Freshwater marshes see reeds and grasses as producers and flies and birds as consumers. Peatlands are low productivity wetlands dominated by sphagnum moss and supporting carnivorous plants and migr
