In Pennsylvania, the five main types of wetlands are marshes, swamps, bogs, fens, and wet meadows. Marshes are dominated by herbaceous plants, while swamps are characterized by woody vegetation. Bogs are acidic and support sphagnum moss and specialized plants, while fens are nutrient-rich and support a diverse range of flora. Wet meadows are grassland areas that are periodically flooded, providing habitat for various wildlife.
