–Saturated soils are often cooler at the surface as a result of evaporation.
-Low dry bulk density of the soil.Bulk densities range from 0.1 - 1.0 g cm3.
-Softening of the soil material as a result of the weakening effect of water.
-Root penetration by wetland plants is made easier.
-Traffic-ability of land is much poorer when flooded.
