Palustrine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Palustrine comes from the Latin word palus or marsh. Wetlands within this category include inland marshes and swamps as well as bogs, fens, tundra and floodplains. Palustrine systems include any inland wetland which lacks flowing water, contains ocean-derived salts in concentrations of less than 0.05%, and is non-tidal.
It may be useful to clarify the differences between lacustrine and palustrine wetlands.
