Each of those areas has a different set of plants and invertebrates.    It\u2019s important to have that architecture there to get a normal food web.  Not only that, because constructed wetlands that use mine  tailings materials have lots of salt, which is natural, but concentrated because of recycling the water during mining.  We need to get closer to fresh water before we\u2019re going to get rapidly functioning food web.   So the size of the surrounding landscape has to be big enough to sustain that.
