Usage
Extended usage
- natural=wetland
- wetland=swamp - An area of waterlogged forest, with dense vegetation.
- wetland=bog - A waterlogged area fed by precipitation or ground water, accumulating peat.
- wetland=marsh - Replacement for the natural=marsh tag. Waterlogged ground and patches of open water, not normally wooded, and more open than a swamp. Different types of low, mostly grass-like herbaceous vegetation (sedges, grasses, rushes).
- 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.
- wetland=tidalflat - Tidally inundated areas of bare mud, sand or similar sediments.
- wetland=mangrove - Mangroves, tidal forests of salt-tolerant mangrove trees, forming along tropical coastlines.
- tidal=* Indicates if the wetland is subject to temporary inundation based on the tide.
- managed=* Indicates if the wetland is managed in any form
- seasonal=* Indicates if the wetland is seasonal.
