Salt water intrusion on the North Cape Fear River
The ecological significance of the cypress play a huge roll in the wetland ecosystem. The prevention of erosion, habitat, and natural flow of nutrients helps regulate other species as well as water quality. The cause of the dead cypress is related to salt water intrusion from weather, humans, overpopulation and hurricanes. This problem will continue to happen due to the uptake of freshwater for irrigation and human use.
