Answers:
Ponds eventually fill in to become wet meadows. A wet meadow is a low piece of ground that is flooded more than two weeks during the growing season per year, and has plants that can withstand the flooding, and wetland soil. Common shrubs that I see in wet meadows in my area (northwest us) include water birch, hardhack (Spirea douglasii) , bog laurel, bog rosemary, pacific ninebark, and red-osier dogwood.
Wet meadows occur where water is at or near the surface most of the growing season, following the spring season.
Wet meadows have saturated soils for long periods of time during the growing season but do not have deep flooding.
Vegetation in a wet meadow usually includes a wide variety of herbaceous species including sedges, rushes, forbs and grasses. Woody plants if present, account for a minority of the total area cover.
