Wetlands saturated in growing season when the plants grow hydrophytic vegetation in the rooting zone impacts soil morphology redox morphology
• grey matrix
• redox accumulations

NWA:“Land which is transitional between terrestrial and aquatic systems where the water table is usually at or near the surface, or the land is periodically covered with shallow water, and which land in normal circumstances supports or would support vegetation typically adapted to life in saturated soil.”

Land
which is transitional between terrestrial and aquatic systems
where the water table is usually at or near the surface,
or the land is periodically covered with shallow water,
and which land in normal circumstances
supports or would support vegetation typically adapted to life in saturated soil.”
Introduction
soil, terrain, climate
driven by water
may be inundated
exclude extremes / human
plant = indicator
soil = substrate

“… vegetation...adapted to life in saturated soil.” soil saturated with water
• ADs>0.7
• in growing season– species variation– regional variation
water must be reduced• rH <20
