Swamps are wetlands characterized by the presence of TREES growing on silty to organic muck soils. They usually occur along RIVER floodplains and in poorly drained basins. Swamps are often inundated seasonally, or remain continually flooded. http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&Params=A1SEC883564 On the other hand, marshes are treeless wetland where lush growths of herbaceous plants (eg, GRASSES, SEDGES, reeds and CATTAILS) predominate. http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&Params=A1SEC883565
