Task: Class Definition Understanding (ontology: Earth_Environment/SWEET)

Which of the following definitions best describes 'swamp'?

A. A the concept is a wetland that features temporary or permanent inundation of large areas of land by shallow bodies of water, generally with a substantial number of hammocks, or dry-land protrusions, and covered by aquatic vegetation, or vegetation that tolerates periodical inundation.The water of a the concept may be fresh water or salt water. A the concept is also generally defined as having no substantial peat deposits.
B. In geography, a the concept, or morass, is a type of wetland which is subject to frequent or continuous inundation. Typically a the concept features grasses, rushes, reeds, typhas, sedges, and other herbaceous plants (possibly with low-growing woody plants) in a context of shallow water. A the concept is different from a swamp, which has a greater proportion of open water surface, and is generally deeper than a the concept. In North America, the term swamp is used for wetland dominated by trees rather than grasses and low herbs
C. 1. The ratio of the mass of any substance to the volume occupied by it (usually expressed in kilograms per cubic meter, but any other unit system may be used); the reciprocal of the concept.
D. Peat forms in wetlands or peatlands, variously called bogs, moors, muskegs, pocosins, mires, and peat swamp forests
