Fen, Definition, Description, Chemistry, Plants, Fen vs Bog, & Facts

Fen, type of wetland ecosystem, especially in a low-lying area, wholly or partly covered with water and dominated by grasses and grasslike plants such as sedges and reeds. Fens develop as the result of sustained flows of mineral-rich groundwater in the root zone, which limit the decomposition of plant debris and allow the formation of peat.
