| 1 | ecosystems of several types in which vegetation is surrounded by stand water during part of the year | 47 sets |
| 2 | ecosystems of several types in which rooted vegetation is surrounded by standing water during part of the year | 8 sets |
| 3 | ecosystems of several types in which vegetation is surrounded by standing water during part or most of the year | 8 sets |
| 4 | lands where water saturation is the dominant factor determining the nature of the soil development and the plant and animal communities (e.g., sloughs, estuaries, marshes). | 7 sets |
| 5 | shallow ecosystems in which the land surface is saturadted or submerged at least part of the year. | 6 sets |
| 6 | lands where water saturation is the dominant factor determining the nature of the soil development and the plant and animal communities (e.g.,sloughs,estuaries, marshes) | 4 sets |
| 7 | shallow ecosystems where landsurface is saturated during parts of the year | 4 sets |
| 8 | water-saturated land area that supports aquatic plants | 4 sets |
| 9 | an area of a land that is covered by a shallow layer of water for all or some of the year | 3 sets |
| 10 | an area of land saturated with water. they provide protection against storm surges in three ways. 1. lower temperature of water (no heat energy for the storm). 2. trees provide a wind break. 3. wetlands absorb water from the surge of water. | 3 sets |
| 11 | land that has a wet and spongy soil, as a marsh, swamp, or bog | 3 sets |
| 12 | ecosystems of several types where rooted vegetation is surrounded by standing water during part of the year | 3 sets |
| 13 | lands where water saturation is the dominant factor determining the nature of the soil development and the plant and animal communities (e.g., sloughs, estuaries, marshes) | 3 sets |
| 14 | areas that are covered with water for a large part of the year | 3 sets |
| 15 | wet at least part of the year and have particular type of vegetation and soil: salt marshes, swamps, bogs, prairie potholes, and vernal pools | 2 sets |
| 16 | any landscape that is covered with water for at least part of the year | 2 sets |
| 17 | partially submerged land year round that include estuaries, swamps, marshes, ect. | 2 sets |
| 18 | land where water has a greater effect than any other factor on the land's soil, plants, and animals | 2 sets |
| 19 | areas of land (ex: marshes, swamps, bogs) that are saturated with water and support aquatic plants | 2 sets |
| 20 | lands where water saturation is the dominant factor determining the nature of the soil development and the plant and animal communities | 2 sets |
| 21 | ecosystems of several types in which rooted vegetation is surrounded by standing water during part of the year. (see also swamp, marsh, bog, fen) | 2 sets |
| 22 | lands where water saturation is the dominant factor determining the nature of the soil development and the plant and animal communities (e.g., sloughs,esaturies,marshes). | 2 sets |
| 23 | ecosystems of several types in which rooted vegetaion is surrounded by standing water | 2 sets |
| 24 | lowland areas that are saturated with water for part of or all of the year | 2 sets |
| 25 | area covered with water that supports aquatic plants, may flood occasionally or be permenantly saturated | 2 sets |
| 26 | an area between land and water where the water table is generally at or near the surface or the land is covered with shallow water | 2 sets |
| 27 | shallow ecosystems in which the land surface is submerged at least part of the yearin africa, acacias and other spiny plans dominate this landscape. | 2 sets |
| 28 | a land that is almost always wet such as bog, swamp, or marsh | 2 sets |
| 29 | areas that have a natural supply of water | 2 sets |
| 30 | land that has a wet and spongy soil, as a marsh, swamp, or bog; an area between land and water where the water table is generally at or near the surface or the land is covered with shallow water | 2 sets |
| 31 | an area of land that is often wit and the soil is low in oxygen the plants that grow here must be suited to this type soil | 1 set |
