Minerotrophic

[3] The hydrologic process behind minerotrophic wetlands results in water that has acquired dissolved chemicals which raise the nutrient levels and reduce the acidity.

[4] Chemical ions are transported to wetlands via their hydrological system, and in turn affect pH, conductivity, and nutrient levels.

[4] These characteristics also vary seasonally, as average groundwater levels increase and decrease at different times of the year.

[9] Additional factors such as geological conditions, soil type, and surface morphology may also influence the characteristics of a wetland in tandem with hydrological setting.

[4] Stable water and nutrient availability via groundwater systems allows for a diverse array of plant species to grow in minerotrophic wetlands.
