do alkaline wetlands just almost never exist, because I've never heard the word fen before
It's basically a bog with freshwater coming in through the bottom.
There are some in Massachusets, Colorado, Estonia, and this region of the UK called the Fens.
i love when scientists take a swamp of arbitrary language terms and decide to impose some arbitrary specific meanings on them for purposes of their specific discipline and then convince people who don't really get how language works (i.e. most people) that the definitions are authoritative. it's fun to watch the cognitive dissonance when this collides with actual usage and people get all angry and righteous.
I'm still trying to remember the difference between pron3/supine
If it helps, I always remember it as 'the military goes prone, supine is getting a bone.'
Lol getting a bone. Or i guess i can look at the pine trees if I'm supine
This is one of my pet trivias :) hard to remember the pH for bogs and fens though. It has something to do with rain vs groundwater.
