− | + | A '''wetland''' is an {{L|biome|area}}, flooded permanently or only periodically. Generally they have an abundance of {{L|plants|foliage}}, including heavy, specialized {{L|tree}}-growth and a vast ecosystem. The landscape is very flat, with only occasional, small gradients. {{L|Pond}}s are abundant. Wetlands tend to form around {{L|ocean}}ic coastlines, especially where {{L|river}}s meet the ocean. | |
− | + | They generally have a high {{L|water}} table, meaning that an accessible {{L|aquifer}} is only a few tiles below the surface (and in occasionally unlucky circumstances, directly beneath the surface). It can be incredibly difficult to nigh-impossible to extract {{L|stone}}s from these areas, making the long-term feasibility of a fort doubtful; it is recommend that an additional, non-saturated biome be selected as well. The stratification is often hard to ascertain, as it is difficult to penetrate the aquifer. Generally there are a few layers of {{L|clay}} and {{L|loam}} followed, eventually, by stone and rock beneath. | |
− | + | Wetlands with salt{{L|water}} make habitability more precarious, as the aquifer and surrounding ponds are not drinkable. The water first has to be {{L|Water#Salt_Water|desalinated}}. | |
