Soggy natural areas
Wetland habitats are ecosystems where land meets water—marshes, swamps, bogs, and fens where the soil is saturated for significant periods.
These areas support distinctive plant and animal communities adapted to waterlogged conditions.
The term appears frequently in conservation contexts, as wetlands filter water, buffer floods, and provide critical breeding grounds: The development threatened nearby wetland habitats.
