A Bog is wet, spongy ground with soil composed mainly of decayed vegetable matter and occurs where the water at the ground surface is acidic. A marsh is a wetland which is subject to frequent or continuous flooding. The water in a marsh is shallow and features grasses, rushes, reeds, and sedges. A swamp is a wetland featuring temporary or permanent inundation of large areas of land by shallow bodies of water. Plants that grow in a swamp would be aquatic vegetation,or vegetation that tolerates periodical inundation.
1. A bog is a area of ground that is wet and accumulates a lot of acidic peat, or weedly material. Marsh is a soft, low lying, and grassy vegetation, thats often formed to a transition zone between water and land. Lastly a swamp is a wetland thats made of shrubs and trees, often found by rivers or streams.
2. Ecological succession is an observed process if change in the species structure or an ecological community over time.
The description of a bog is a damp, spongy ground with soil composed mainly of decayed vegie matter and occurs where the h2O at the ground surface is acidic. A marsh is constant flooding. The ground or surface of the bottom is has grasses and reeds. Swamps are wetlands that feature temporary or permanent inundation of large areas of land by shallow bodies of water. Growing plants in a swamp usually would be aquatic vegetation or vegetation that tolerates periodical inundation.
A bog is dominated by moss and is formed in a depression, and the water is very acidic. A march is shallow and is formed by rivers and has tall grasslike plants as well as cattails. In a swamp the water moves very slowly and looks like a flooded forest. ecological sucession is the observed process of change that a species or cummunity goes through.
1. A marsh is an area of wet, soft, low-lying land, characterized by grassy vegetation and often forming a transition zone between water and land. 2. A swamp is a seasonally flooded bottom-land with more woody plants than a marsh and better drainage than a bog. 3. A bog is an area having a wet spongy, acidic substrate composed chiefly of sphagnum moss and peat in which characteristic shrubs, herbs and sometimes trees usually grow.
Ecological succession is the observed process of change in the species structure of an ecological community over time. Within any community some species may become less abundant over some time interval, or they may even vanish from the ecosystem altogether. Similarly, over some time interval other species within the community may become more abundant. or new species may even invade from adjacent ecosystems.

A bog is an area having a wet spongy, acidic substrate composed chiefly of sphagnum moss and peat in which characteristic shrubs, herbs and sometimes trees usually grow.
a swamp is flooded flatland, identified by a growth of trees, highly acidic water and silty soil. the water in swamps are usually deeper than marshes or bogs. a marsh differs from a swamp in its lack of any plant life bigger then a bush, and usually found around a still source of water such as a pond or a lake and is subject to flooding. a bog usually has low lying plant life such as peat moss and bushes, and is considered to be the driest of the three.

PERIOD 6 A bog is formed where there is a depression, it is acidic and has lots of moss. A marsh is typically shallow and flooded, it has grasses and reeds and cattails. A swamp looks like a flooded forest and has aquatic vegetation
1. A bog is wet spongy, acid substrate composed chiefly of sphagnum moss and peat and which shrubs and herbs grow. A marsh is low, wet, soft land that is temporally or permanently covered with water characterized by aquatic grass like vegetation. A swamp is a seasonally flooded bottomland with more woody plants than a marsh and better drainage then a bog.
2. Ecological Succession is the gradual change in an ecosystem bought about by the progressive replacement of one community by another in definite order until a stable community is established over a period of time

Swamps are forests that is supmerged in water.Bogs are wet grounds,weedy plants,and the soil of it is acidic.A Marsh is a wetland which is seasionaly flooded in water. Ecological Seccession is the evolution of species over time which means it changes over time.
A bog is an area in the ground that is wet or spongy ground with soil composed mainly of decayed vegie matter and occurs where the water and ground surface is acidic. A marsh is basically a shallow swanp that has grass, rushes, reeds, and sedges. A swamp on the other hand looks like a flooded forest with trees and shrubs which bases are covered by water. Ecological succesion is a process in which a species changes over time.
1. A bog is dominated by spaghum moss, which is generally very acidic. A marsh is a shallow wetland along a river that may be under water for all or part of the year. It contains tall, grasslike plants, cattails, and rushes. In a swamp, water flows slowly, and it looks like a flooded forest. The presense of trees and shrubs is what distinguishes a swamp from a marsh.
2. Ecological Succession is the observed process of change in the species structure of an ecological community over time.
a bog is a swampy wetland, with soil composed of organic matter (cranberries are only grown in bogs) and the base is usually acidic. a marsh is wetland with a constantly changing and unpredictable amount of water, usually fills up after it rains. Because marshes are not deep, there are lots of grasses, reeds, and sedges that rise above the surface. a swamp is a wetland that contains pretty shallow water depths, but cover very large amounts of land. The plants that grow in swamps are known as aquatic vegetation.
A bog is an area having a wet, spongy, acidic substrate composed chiefly of sphagnum moss and peat in which characteristic shrubs and herbs and sometimes trees usually grow. A marsh is a tract of low wet land, often treeless and periodically inundated, generally characterized by a growth of grasses, sedges, cattails, and rushes. A swamp is a tract of wet, spongy land, often having a growth of certain types of trees and other vegetation, but unfit for cultivation. Ecological succession is an observed process if change in the species structure or an ecological community over time.

2. Ecological succession is the change of a species over time:primary and secondary
A bog is a wetland, dominated by moss, which has high acidity levels. It is formed by depressions where water collects. Marshes are shallow wetlands found near rivers. Many tall grasslike plants grow there.
Ecological succession is where smaller organisms are slowly replaced by larger organisms. Starts off as lichen on rock, then grows to grass, then to slightly larger plants, then to small trees, then to larger trees, and the animals habitats adapt to this. This process can be restarted with a natural disaster.
