Wetland
A wetland is a distinct ecosystem that is flooded by
water, either permanently or seasonally, where
oxygen-free processes prevail. The primary factor that
distinguishes wetlands from other land forms or
water bodies is the characteristic vegetation of
aquatic plants, adapted to the unique hydric soil.
