Scope note: Ambientes o hábitats en la interfase entre verdaderos ECOSISTEMAS terrestres y verdaderos sistemas acuáticos, lo que los hace diferentes y, sin embargo, muy interdependientes. Las adaptaciones a un SUELO con bajas concentraciones de OXÍGENO caracterizan muchas especies de los humedales.
