1. The y-axis show is the percentage of recovery compared to natural wetlands.

2. The red graph line is the plant biomass.

3. 80% of the biomass of a natural wetland.

1. The y-axis is a representation of the percentage of recovery compared to natural wetlands.

2. The red graph line represents the plant biomass.

3. After 20 years, the plant biomass restored wetland contains about: 80% of the biomass of a natural wetland.

The plant biomass (W) is a relation of the total weight of living plant material to its capacity of doing carbon assimilation. Biomass is the oldest source of energy, so it can be used as an energy source besides the sun. We can find those energies in any organic matter like wood, animal wastes, crops, seaweed, etc.

complete question;

What does the y-axis show?

What does the red graph line represent?

After 20 years, how much plant biomass does a restored wetland contain?
