Wet meadow

A wet meadow in the San Bernardino Mountains, California, United States.

A wet meadow is a type of wetland with soils that are saturated for part or all of the growing season which prevents the growth of trees and brush. Debate exists whether a wet meadow is a type of marsh or a completely separate type of wetland.[1] Wet prairies and wet savannas are hydrologically similar.
