Fresh water

Fresh water or freshwater is any naturally occurring liquid or frozen water containing low concentrations of dissolved salts and other total dissolved solids.

See Shrub swamp and Fresh water

Freshwater swamp forest

Freshwater swamp forests, or flooded forests, are forests which are inundated with freshwater, either permanently or seasonally. Shrub swamp and freshwater swamp forest are swamps.

Hummock

In geology, a hummock is a small knoll or mound above ground.

See Shrub swamp and Hummock

Marsh

In ecology, a marsh is a wetland that is dominated by herbaceous plants rather than by woody plants. Shrub swamp and marsh are Pedology and wetlands.

North America

North America is a continent in the Northern and Western Hemispheres.

Palustrine wetland

Palustrine wetlands include any inland wetland that contains ocean-derived salts in concentrations of less than 0.5 parts per thousand, and is non-tidal.

Peat

Peat is an accumulation of partially decayed vegetation or organic matter. Shrub swamp and Peat are types of soil and wetlands.

See Shrub swamp and Peat

Sambucus

Sambucus is a genus of flowering plants in the family Adoxaceae.

See Shrub swamp and Sambucus

Sapric

A sapric is a subtype of a histosol where virtually all of the organic material has undergone sufficient decomposition to prevent the identification of plant parts. Shrub swamp and sapric are Pedology and types of soil.

See Shrub swamp and Sapric

Swamp

A swamp is a forested wetland. Shrub swamp and swamp are Pedology, swamps and wetlands.

See Shrub swamp and Swamp

Wet meadow

A wet meadow is a type of wetland with soils that are saturated for part or all of the growing season which prevents the growth of trees and brush. Shrub swamp and wet meadow are wetlands.

See Shrub swamp and Wet meadow

Wetland

A wetland is a distinct semi-aquatic ecosystem whose groundcovers are flooded or saturated in water, either permanently, for years or decades, or only seasonally for a shorter periods. Shrub swamp and wetland are wetlands.

See Shrub swamp and Wetland

Willow

Willows, also called sallows and osiers, of the genus Salix, comprise around 350 species (plus numerous hybrids) of typically deciduous trees and shrubs, found primarily on moist soils in cold and temperate regions.
