wetland area
Swampy natural habitat
A wetland area is land where the soil is saturated with water either permanently or seasonally, such as marshes, swamps, bogs, and fens.
These ecosystems support specialized plants and wildlife adapted to wet conditions and serve important ecological functions including flood control, water filtration, and carbon storage.
The term often appears in environmental policy and conservation contexts, where wetland areas receive legal protection.
The development was halted because it would destroy a protected wetland area.
