Type of Soil in Wetlands

The type of soil found in wetlands is called hydric soil. The definition of hydric soil is "a soil that formed under conditions of saturation, flooding or ponding long enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions in the upper part" (http://soils.usda.gov/use/hydric/intro.html).  Hydric soil is found in areas where the soil is saturated with water most of the growing season, like in wetland biomes.
