text: Swamps are wetlands consisting of saturated soils or standing water and are dominated by water-tolerant woody vegetation such as shrubs, bushes, and trees.
text: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) developed a non-regulatory, technical definition of wetlands that emphasize these concepts via the following three points: (1) hydrology--the degree of flooding or soil saturation is such that at some time during the growing season, the substrate is saturated or covered by shallow water; (2) vegetation--plants adapted to grow in water or in a soil or substrate that is occasionally oxygen deficient due to water saturation (hydrophytes) are found; and (3) soils--those saturated long enough during the growing season to produce oxygen-deficient conditions in the upper part of the soil, which commonly includes the majority of the root zone of plants, predominate (i.e., hydric soils) (Cowardin and others, 1979; Tiner, 1991).
text: Swamps are characterized by their saturated soils and slow-moving waters.
text: Swamps are characterized by saturated soils during the growing season and standing water during certain times of the year.
text: This means that their soil can be saturated either permanently or seasonally.
text: Most trees, shrubs, ferns, and many other plants grow best in soils that are only saturated early in the growing season and after heavy rains.
text: The deep organic and mineral soils are continuously saturated, if not flooded, enabling thick deposits of plant material to accumulate.
text: Swamps develop in settings where the soil is saturated or flooded for long enough during the growing season to favor wetland plants, but where the water level is low enough – or recedes for long enough -- to allow woody plants to germinate, grow to maturity, and reproduce.
text: occur where soil is saturated from groundwater flowing to the surface in a diffuse flow.
