Types of Wetland and Wetland Plants

The system of classification of the wetlands is classified based on the hydrologic regime and landscape position. It includes 5 types of wetlands namely; Lacustrine, Palustrine, Riverine, Estuarine and Marine. The most important feature of a wetland is decided through the mixture of the salinity of the water inside the wetland, the soil kind, and the flora and animals that exist in the wetland. Based on mineral contents wetlands are classified into 2 types i.e. marshes and swaps. Based on soil types they are divided into 2 types bogs and fens. Wetlands are also classified on the basis of wetland plants into four categories i.e. Emergents, floaters, submerged and amphibious plants.
