Floodplain swamp

A floodplain swamp is a swamp habitat in Florida. They occur in areas of flooding and inundation along streams and rivers.[1] They have a lot in common with strand swamps, found further south where lack of slope prevents stream formation and host a variety of plant and animal species.[2]
