Types of wetland

Tag	Rendering	Description	Picture
Open habitats
wetland=marsh		Marshes are periodically saturated, flooded, or ponded with water and characterized by herbaceous (non-woody) vegetation adapted to wet soil conditions. Marshes are further characterized as tidal marshes and non-tidal marshes
wetland=reedbed		Reed-bed, an inundated area dominated by certain tall non-woody plants (reeds, bulrushes).
wetland=saltmarsh		Coastal marshes, exposed to tidal inundation with sea water, therefore characterised by herbaceous plants with special adaptations to saline environments. Ditches/channels in these marshes should be tagged with waterway=ditch. Grid-like ditches in saltmarshes were often dug to drain standing water pools in the marsh and therefore eliminate salt marsh mosquitoes.
wetland=wet_meadow		A semi-wetland meadow which is saturated with water throughout much of the year. Can be caused by poor drainage or the receipt of large amounts of rainwater or melted snow or in riparian zones.
Forested habitats
wetland=swamp		An area of waterlogged forest, with dense vegetation.
wetland=mangrove		Mangrove swamps are coastal wetlands characterized by salt-tolerant trees, shrubs, and other plants growing in brackish to saline tidal waters
Bog
wetland=bog		Bogs are peat-filled depressions that receive their water and nutrients from rainfall. They are frequently covered in shrubs rooted in the sphagnum moss and peat.
wetland=fen		Fens are groundwater-fed peatforming wetlands covered by grasses, sedges, reeds, and wildflowers.
wetland=string_bog		A String bog or Strong mire is a bog consisting of slightly elevated ridges and islands, with woody plants, alternating with flat, wet sedge mat areas. String bogs occur on slightly sloping surfaces, with the ridges at right angles to the direction of water flow.
Saltwater habitats
wetland=tidalflat		Tidally inundated areas of bare mud, sand or similar sediments. See  mudflat on Wikipedia
wetland=saltern		Saline for salt production
