Low, wet ground covered with grasses and reeds, often lying along a lake, river or coast.
Marshland is usually flooded or soggy for much of the year, which makes it hard to build on or farm. It is home to wading birds, frogs and many plants that tolerate wet roots. Draining such places was once seen as improvement, but they are now valued as habitat.
