- Fens are the rarest wetland type in Wisconsin, and probably one of the rarest in North America. Fens are low-growing plant communities that occur where groundwater that is rich in minerals, especially calcium and magnesium compounds, seeps out from the ground. swamp is any wetland that is dominated by woody vegetation (trees and/or shrubs), including lowland hardwood swamps, coniferous swamps, coniferous bogs, floodplain forests, alder thickets and shrub carrs.

- More information on these different types of wetlands. PLANTS: Freshwater wetlands have a variety of plant types, and each different type of wetland may have different kinds of plants. The plants discussed here are fairly common.There are floating plants, such as duckweed, that extends its roots down into the water to absorb nutrients.hese are all names of different types of wetlands: marsh, bog, fen, swamp, mire, slough, and prairie pothole. These places can look very different, but because they are all areas with wet soil, or where water covers the soil, they are considered wetlands.

- A marsh is a type of wetland which is distinguished from other wetland varieties by having an assortment of grasses, reeds, and sedges, without large bushes and tall trees. swamp is a bottomland which often has trees. Unlike a marsh, it is not a transition between bodies of water and land, but simply a minor body of water at a low area, and it is usually stagnant and shallow. Marshes do not generally have many trees, but are home to smaller vegetation.

Freshwater Wetlands Program Wetlands are known by many names, such as marshes, swamps, bogs, and wet meadows. Wetlands are transition areas between uplands and aquatic habitats. Standing water is only one clue that a wetland may be present. Many wetlands only have visible water during certain seasons of the year.

Menstruation and the First Period: What Girls Should Know Will you be more ready than that when it’s time to talk to your daughter about her first period? That time may come sooner than you think. Although a girl’s first period usually occurs at about age 12, some girls experience their first period much earlier. And even before she gets her first period, your daughter will be noticing other changes in her body: Recent studies show that most girls start developing breast buds sometime between age 9 and 10.

Wetlands Wetlands are areas of land that are covered with fresh water or saltwater and feature species adapted to life in a saturated environment. They are shallow and allow the growth of rooted or anchored plants such as water lilies but also free floating plants like duckweed.y contrast, inland wetlands are along rivers and streams (these are sometimes called riparian wetlands), in isolated depressions, along the edges of lakes and ponds, or in other low-lying areas where the groundwater meets the soil's surface or when runoff is significant enough to allow formation.

Types of Wetlands Bogs and Fens. A bog is a fresh water wetland, usually formed in an old glacial lake with a spongy peat base. Most of the bog’s water comes from rain. A fen is a fresh water peat wetland covered mostly by grasses sedges, reeds, and wildflowers of high pH (alkaline) ground water. Soil. Bogs have soil that is low in nutrients.

- A wetland is found where the land is wet enough (i.e. saturated or flooded) for long enough to be unfavourable to most plants but are favourable to plants adapted to anaerobic soil conditions. As soil becomes increasingly wet, the water starts to, fill the space; between the soil particles.

Aquatic plant They are also referred to as hydrophytes or macrophytes. These plants require special adaptations for living submerged in water, or at the water's surface. The most common adaptation is aerenchyma, but floating leaves and finely dissected leaves are also common.Aquatic plants can only grow in water or in soil that is permanently saturated with water. They are therefore a common component of wetlands.The principal factor controlling the distribution of aquatic plants is the depth and duration of flooding.ne of the largest aquatic plants in the world is the Amazon water lily; one of the smallest is the minute duckweed. Many small aquatic animals use plants like duckweed for a home, or for protection from predators, but areas with more vegetation are likely to have more predators.

Types of Wetlands A swamp is a low wetland where water from streams or rivers collects in a shallow flat area before flowing out in another stream or river. A swamp is usually muddy, and frequently supports trees, either water-tolerant trees like mangrove and cypress, or land trees on islands within the swamp. bog is a wetland, often higher than the surrounding land, which holds water by virtue of the absorbency of its thick layer of peat. This peat is the main distinguishing characteristic of a bog, and it may be composed of sphagnum, lichen, or any other accumulated vegetation.

Marsh Marsh, type of wetland ecosystem characterized by poorly drained mineral soils and by plant life dominated by grasses. The latter characteristic distinguishes a marsh from a swamp, whose plant life is dominated by trees. Marshes are common at the mouths of rivers, especially where extensive deltas have been built. The river brings a steady supply of water. The gradient of the river approaches zero at the sea, where flow is sluggish.

An overview of peat in Florida and related issues ( FGS: Special publication 27 ) Wetlands are lands transitional between terrestrial and aquatic systems where the water table (the level at which the soil is saturated) is usually at or near the surface or the land is covered by shallow water. The definition goes on to say that to be officially classified as a wetland, an area must have one or more of the following: 1  It must support the growth of specific types of water loving plants. 2  The soil must be of a moisture-filled (hydric) type. 3  The soil must be saturated or covered with water at some time during each growing season.

Marsh 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. This form of vegetation is what differentiates marshes from other types of wetland such as swamps, which are dominated by trees, and mires, which are wetlands that have accumulated deposits of acidic peat.

Wetlands Classification and Types One commonly used classification system for wetlands was developed by Cowardin and is described in Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States Exit. The Cowardin system is used by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for the National Wetlands Inventory. In this system, wetlands are classified by landscape position, vegetation cover and hydrologic regime. The Cowardin system includes five major wetland types: marine, tidal, lacustrine, palustrine and riverine. Another common wetland classification system, used by the Army Corps of Engineers, was developed by Brinson and is described in A Hydrogeomorphic Classification for Wetlands Exit.
