Land that is covered mostly with water, with occasional marshy and soggy areas
Land where water saturation is the dominant factor determining the nature of soil development and the types of plant and animal communities
A lake, marsh, or swamp that supports wildlife and replenishes the groundwater system
A term generally applied to any area where the ground is temporarily, seasonally, or permanently wet and that, under normal circumstances, is occupied by water-loving or water-tolerant vegetation, such as cattails, sedges, or willows
Transitional area between dry land and aquatic areas having a high water table of shallow water
Wetlands are areas where water exists at or near the land's surface in flooded or saturated soils in sufficient amounts during the March to October growing season to sustain wetland types of plants Generally, three factors must be present in a wetland: 1) hydric soils (those soils officially identified as being wetland-type soils), 2) water (surface or groundwater within the root growing zone or upper 18 inches of soil), and 3) predominance of plants that are recognized as wetland species There are several types of wetlands in west Eugene, including agricultural, marshes, ash forests, shrub-scrub, and prairie grasslands The agricultural wetlands are an exception to the three factor definition used here (see "Agricultural Wetlands" definition)
area that is regularly wet or flooded and has a water table that stands at or above the land surface for at least part of the year, such as a bog, pond, fen, estuary, or marsh
Semi-aquatic land, that is land that is either inundated or saturated by water for varying periods of time during each year, and that supports aquatic vegetation which is specifically adapted for saturated soil conditions
Natural land-use type that is covered by salt water or fresh water for some time period This land type can be identified by the presence of particular plant species or characteristic conditions
An area which is regularly wet or flooded; a wetland generally has standing water part of each year
Land that is covered mostly with water, with occasional marshy and soggy areas. The plural form is more commonly used
a low area where the land is saturated with water
{i} area of land that has wet soil (such as a marsh or bog)
A location on the landscape that is characterized by either hydric soils or hydrophytic plants or both A wetland may be vegetated or non-vegetated The vegetation description for each association includes it wetland status
Land that is transitional between aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems and is covered with water for at least part of the year
An area that is regularly saturated by surface water or groundwater and is characterized by a prevalence of vegetation that is adapted for life in saturated soil conditions (e g , swamps, bogs, fens, marshes, and estuaries)
means land that has a predominance of hydric soils (soils which are usually wet and where there is little or no free oxygen) and that is inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances does support, a prevalence of hydrophytic vegetation (plants typically found in wet habitats) typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions Areas which are restored or created as the result of mitigation or planned construction projects and which function as a wetland are included within this definition even when all three wetland parameters are not present
An area of land that is regularly wet or flooded, such as a marsh or swamp Other common names for wetlands are sloughs, ponds, and marshes

Land that is transitional between terrestrial and aquatic systems where the water table is usually at or near the surface or the land is covered by shallow water According to Minnesota law, a wetland is defined by the presence of: 1) soils with characteristics developed under wet conditions, 2) surface or subsurface water, and 3) vegetation that is growing where at least periodically deficient oxygen exists as a result of excessive water content

A wetland is an area of very wet, muddy land with wild plants growing in it. You can also refer to an area like this as wetlands. a scheme that aims to protect the wilderness of the wetlands There are some areas of wetland which are of ancient origin. an area of land that is partly covered with water, or is wet most of the time
Includes permanently or intermittently wet areas, shallow water, and land water margins that support a natural ecosystem of plants and animals that are adapted to wet conditions (Resource Management Act 1991)
1) Land with a wet, spongy soil, where the water table is at or above the land surface for at least part of the year 2) Transitional area between dry land and aquatic areas having a high water table or shallow water 3) Land with one of the following three attributes: (a) periodically supports hydrophytes, (b) substrate is predominately undrained hydric soil, (c) substrate is nonsoil and saturated or covered with water during part of the growing season each year
An area that is regularly wet or flooded and has a water table that stands at or above the land surface for at least part of the year
land (marshes or swamps) saturated with water constantly or recurrently; conducive to wide biodiversity
Those areas that are inundated by surface or ground water with a frequency sufficient to support, and under normal circumstances do or would support, a prevalence of vegetation or aquatic life that requires saturated soil conditions for growth and reproduction Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas such as sloughs, potholes, wet meadows, river overflows, mud flats, and natural ponds
Transitional lands between aquatic and terrestrial systems where the water table is at or near the surface of the land This area is covered by shallow water To be classified as a wetland, an area must have one or more of the following three attributes: 1 The land supports plants, which are adapted to wet soil conditions These plants are also known as hydrophytes 2 The base land is predominantly undrained hydric soil 3 The base is nonsoil and is saturated with water or covered by shallow water at some time during the growing season of every year (back to top)
