wetlands :)

 Assalamualaikum.

Q: boleh x terangkan simplest way to distinguish these 4 types of wetlands. adakah kat malaysia ni hanya ade swamp?

A: Four major category of wetland
1. A swamp is a wetland that is forested with woody plants. The water of a swamp may be fresh water, brackish water, or seawater. Examples in the file attachment.
2. A marsh is a type of wetland that is dominated by herbaceous plants. Example in the file attachment.
3. A fen is one of the four main types of wetland, and is usually fed by mineral-rich surface water or groundwater Fens are characterized by their water chemistry, which is neutral or alkaline, with relatively high dissolved mineral levels but few other plant nutrients. Grasses and sedges usually dominate them. No example in Malaysia.
Low-lying wetland with grassy vegetation; usually is a transition zone between land and water.
4. Bogs, which are acidic, low in minerals, and usually dominated by sedges and shrubs, along with abundant mosses; wetland ecosystem characterized by wet, spongy, poorly drained peaty soil found on upland with cool temperature
