Answer:

large supply of nutrients.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a wetland, the soil is covered by water or is almost covered by water. This water may be coming upwards from an underground aquifer. Wetlands are covered by water for most of the year.

They are sheltered waters and do provide habitats for many living things.

Nutrients such as; Carbon sulfur, phosphorus, carbon, and nitrogen are cycled within the soil of wetlands hence wetlands have a large supply of nutrients.
