Freshwater wetlands are ecosystem affected by inundation (permanently or temporary). The three major types are swamps (uncultivated low-lying ground where water collects), marshes (low-lying and waterlogged land, flooded in wet seasons or at high tide) and bogs (wet muddy ground that's too soft to support a heavy body).
