Relationships-
Commensalism: Methanobacteria and O2 - chemotactic motile aerobic bacteria.
Preditation: These are your predators in the biome and thoes will be your Alligator, Big snakes, snapping turtles etc.
Mutualism: the Ant-house plant, is in a mutual relationship with the Golden Ant. The ants remove leaf-eaters for the plant and the waste of the ant is absorbed by the plant for nutrition.
Parasitism: Leeches and fish or other animals. Leeches attach to their host and suck their blood, which hurts the prey.
Competiation: Purple loosestrife competes with cattails for a habitat in many American wetlands.

Characteristics-
Climate: It depends on what type of wetland it is but usually the wetlands are pretty hot and humid
Soil: The type of soil found in wetlands is called hydric soil. The definition of hydric soil is "a soil that formed under conditions of saturation, flooding or ponding long enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions in the upper part" (http://soils.usda.gov/use/hydric/intro.html). Hydric soil is found in areas where the soil is saturated with water most of the growing season, like in wetland biomes.
Water: The water in the wetlands can differ on what wetland you are in but in the most part the water can be like a pond or a big lake or river.
