wetland habitat
Soggy natural area
A wetland habitat is an ecosystem where land is saturated with water—marshes, swamps, bogs, and similar areas where water shapes the environment.
The phrase appears in environmental and conservation contexts: The development would destroy critical wetland habitat for migratory birds.
Wetlands support distinctive plant and animal communities adapted to waterlogged conditions.
