Short arm splints should not be used when prevention of pronation and supination is necessary. In this case, a sugar-tong splint, a long arm splint, or a long arm cast should be considered. The decision to apply a splint rather than a cast requires several considerations. Although casts provide more support by virtue of their circumferential nature, they can be more difficult to apply.
A marsh is a wetland that is dominated by herbaceous rather than woody plant species. Marshes can often be found at the edges of lakes and streams, where they form a transition between the aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. They are often dominated by grasses, rushes or reeds. If woody plants are present they tend to be low-growing shrubs.
Wetlands are areas of standing water that support aquatic plants. Marshes, swamps, and bogs are all considered wetlands. Plant species adapted to the very moist and humid conditions are called hydrophytes.These include pond lilies, cattails, sedges, tamarack, and black spruce. Marsh flora also include such species as cypress and gum.reshwater is defined as having a low salt concentration  usually less than 1%. Plants and animals in freshwater regions are adjusted to the low salt content and would not be able to survive in areas of high salt concentration (i.e., ocean). There are different types of freshwater regions: 1  Ponds and lakes.
