Trumps Baby Hands posted:so you could say that they swamps actually should not be drained, they are an important part of the ecosystem too you need anaerobic conditions to reduce nitrates back to molecular nitrogen, thus completing the nitrogen cycle, and swamps are great for that if you drain the swamps, then the nitrates will flow on into the lakes and oceans and produce through eutrophication their own new anaerobic environment, which is bad for any obligate aerobes that wanted to live there, such as fish that's all i remember from my microbial ecology class, glad to be able to pass it on though
