Wetland Swamp Forests Zone 8

Dominated by mixed deciduous hardwoods. Soils are composed of silts and other sediments with variable amounts of peat and other organic materials and are fairly fertile. Mostly in depressions and bordering rivers and lakes, these forested wetlands are flooded most of the year.
