A wetland is an area of land that is either covered by water or saturated with water. The water is often groundwater, seeping up from an aquifer or spring. A wetland’s water can also come from a nearby river or lake. Seawater can also create wetlands, especially in coastal areas that experience strong tides.

A wetland is entirely covered by water at least part of the year. The depth and duration of this seasonal flooding varies. Wetlands are transition zones. They are neither totally dry land nor totally underwater; they have characteristics of both. The saturation of wetland soil determines the vegetation that surrounds it. Plants that live in wetlands are uniquely adapted to their watery (hydric) soil. Wetland plants are called hydrophytes. Seasonally dry wetlands or wetlands with slow-moving water can often support trees and other sturdy vegetation. More frequently flooded wetlands have mosses or grasses as their dominant hydrophytes.

wetland is a land area that is saturated with water, either permanently or seasonally, such that it takes on the characteristics of a distinct ecosystem.
Wetlands form on floodplains where periodic flooding or high water tables provide sufficient moisture. These "riparian" wetlands may undergo constant change as rivers and streams form new channels and when floods scour the floodplain or deposit new material.

Louisiana Coastal wetlands began forming approximately 8000 years ago from deposition of sediments carried down the Mississippi River.  The Louisiana Coastal Wetlands consist of two connected systems known as the Mississippi deltaic plain and the Chenier Plain to the west.  The Louisiana Coastal Wetlands are part of a natural deltaic cycle of construction and deterioration.  The construction cycle lasted approximately 5000 years during relatively stable sea levels.  The majority of delta building took place at the mouth of the Mississippi, but subdeltas formed at the mouth of numerous other major rivers such as the Atchafalaya River and Wax Lake outlet.  Deltaic formation begins as sediment laden river water reaches the ocean and slows down causing much of the sediment to drop out of suspension.  Over time this accumulation of sediment leads to the formation of bars and shoals that further divert the water, causing increased deposition.  Flooding causes increased sediment loss, leading to the formation bars and shoals extending above sea level.

Peat bogs are freshwater wetlands that develop in areas with standing water and low soil fertility. Marshes develop along the edges of rivers and lakes.

Flooding of coastal lowlands from rising sea levels has created broad coastal marshes that are protected from wave action by barrier islands or reefs. Coastal wetlands also form when rivers deposit sediment as they reach the ocean. Plants then take root and hold the soil firm against the forces of tides and waves.

River floodplains develop through erosion processes and through deposition of sediment on adjacent lands during floods. Wetlands form on floodplains where periodic flooding or high water tables provide sufficient moisture. These "riparian" wetlands may undergo constant change as rivers and streams form new channels and when floods scour the floodplain or deposit new material.

They are formed from:
1) Flooding of coastal lowlands
2) Wetlands form on floodplains where periodic flooding or high water tables provide sufficient moisture.
3) Glaciers help in the creation of wetlands.

The process by which the surrounding watershed enriches bodies of water with nutrients that stimulate excessive plant growth is called eutrophica

💎What are wet lands
land consisting of marshes or swamps; saturated land.
💎How are they formed
A wetland is an area of land that is either covered by water or saturated with water. The water is often groundwater, seeping up from an aquifer or spring. A wetland’s water can also come from a nearby river or lake. Seawater can also create wetlands, especially in coastal areas that experience strong tides.
💎Eutrophication
excessive richness of nutrients in a lake or other body of water, frequently due to run-off from the land, which causes a dense growth of plant life.
💎Effects
Eutrophication can have serious effects, like algal blooms that block light from getting into the water and harm the plants and animals that need it. If there's enough overgrowth of algae, it can prevent oxygen from getting into the water, making it hypoxic and creating a dead zone where no organisms can survive.
